The Migrant Kitchen

A collective of chefs (including Ray Garcia of Broken Spanish, Wes Avila of Guerilla Tacos, Carlos Salgado of Taco Maria, as well as Jorge Gaviria of Masienda) work to preserve heritage and push the "Alta California" Mexican food movement.

The Mahendro family (Anu, Pawan, Nakul and Arjun) immigrated to Los Angeles where each family member contributes something special and significant to their restaurant Badmaash.

Echo Park's Tsubaki, Sonoko Sakai, Wild Live Seafood and Spago Beverly Hills...each aims to introduce Angelenos to the unique spirit of Japanese hospitality and the culture's deep culinary customs.

A group of chefs in Los Angeles (including Cassia's Bryant Ng and Diep Tran of Good Girl Dinette) are hoping to demonstrate that there's so much more to Vietnamese food than banh mi, spring rolls and pho.
