James Beard Awardwinning chef-owner Corey Lee, formerly the Chef de Cuisine at French Laundry for four years, invites you and a guest to experience an evening of creative culinary delight at his highly regarded San Francisco Asian-inspired restaurant, Benu. Michelin starred Benu (two stars!) and it is cited by the New York Times as being one of Ten Restaurants Worth a Plane Ride. Winners will enjoy an incredible 17-course meal prepared by Chef Lee, with wine pairings from expert wine director Yoon Ha. To quote SF Gate food writer Michael Bauer, [Lee] takes the authentic textures of Asian ingredients, mixes them with his Western training, and gives everything a breathtaking twist. No other four-star chef is so in tune with the Asian culture and uses it to inform every aspect of the experience. Gratuity is not included.
