Our fall fundraiser series, Teach a Community to Fish, continues with a one-of-a-kind collaborative Vietnamese seafood dinner from two Bay Area talents: Chef Tu David Phu of Gigi's, author of the cookbook The Memory of Taste, and Chef Paulette Tran of 3 Bottled Fish. This dinner brings our theme to life quite literally, with a menu built around fish, fish sauce, and the traditions that carry a community forward.
This fundraiser serves to be a warm, communal and interactive night featuring a family-style dinner where courses are meant to be shared, stories are passed around the table like dishes, and where the people beside you become friends over a shared meal. Chefs Tu David Phu and Paulette Tran come together for one night to wave their two cuisines into a single, unforgettable table of deliciousness.
The Evening
Doors open to a welcome reception. Guests are greeted at our 18th Street Kitchen with light bites and sips as the evening comes together.
Dinner begins. Guests come together for a seated, family-style dinner curated by Chef Tu and Chef Paulette cooking side by side. Across four to five courses, the two chefs trade off and build on one another, weaving together Vietnamese coastal cooking, Viet-Cajun seafood-boil traditional, and the communal warmth of Vietnamese lẩu (hot pot). Fish sauce runs through the whole meal as a culinary and cultural throughline - a thread connecting family, migration, and the tables both chefs grew up around.
On the menu - A collaborative Vietnamese seafood dinner exploring fish, fish sauce, migration, and communal dining through the perspectives of Chef Tu and Chef Paulette.
Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate shellfish or vegan requests.
