Shifting the Lens: Dinner and Dialogue with Chef Rashida Holmes
Prepare to expand your idea of what a food and wine pairing can be at this ultra-exclusive dinner with guest Chef Rashida Holmes. Your evening starts with a wine reception and passed hors d’oeuvres as you get the chance to mingle with Chef Holmes, Winemaker Nicole Hitchcock and J’s culinary team. For dinner, you’ll enjoy a five-course tasting menu — paired exquisitely with small-lot wines from Nicole Hitchcock — and you’ll be joined by Chef Holmes during every course as she explains more about her story, process and inspiration for every dish.
A 2024 James Beard Award Semifinalist for Outstanding Chef, Chef Holmes has made an indelible mark on the culinary world by putting the flavors of her Afro-Caribbean heritage in the spotlight. In 2019 she opened here pop-up concept, which garnered tremendous media coverage and acclaim. Named Eater’s Best New Restaurant in Los Angeles and Pop-up of the Year by Esquire Magazine in 2021, her take on Caribbean classics has also won her new dedicated fans and repeat customers.
This one-of-a-kind dinner is part of our limited culinary series, Shifting the Lens, where guest chefs share their unique perspectives and life experiences through thoughtfully crafted pairing menus in the Bubble Room.
Chef Holmes hopes to share her ethos with guests during Shifting the Lens: “Taste, value and efficiency are the cornerstones of my food and approach to the restaurant business. If those are in place, the love will flow onto the plate.” Don’t miss this rare opportunity to meet Chef Holmes and join us on our mission towards a more inspiring and eye-opening food and wine experience.
Gratuities are appreciated and will be pooled and distributed among all non-management service staff supporting our guest experiences.
