We’re excited to share that Chef Crista is heading to Carmel Valley Ranch for a very special evening.
On Friday, August 7, Crista will join James Beard Award winner and Top Chef champion Stephanie Izard, alongside Food Network stars Damaris Phillips and Aarti Sequeira, for First Friday: Chef Stephanie & Friends.
Guests will enjoy signature bites from each chef, live music, a grazing table, and an evening celebrating great food and community—all while supporting the incredible work of World Central Kitchen.
If you’re in the area, it’s a wonderful chance to experience Crista’s seasonal, Sonoma-inspired cooking alongside an extraordinary lineup of chefs.
