Chef Series 17.0 - Featuring Antonio Cortez Appling

Welcome to a new year and a new season of The Chef Series!

The Chef Series is a dope night of EATING: an educational and experiential pop up dinner with cooking presentations designed to share The Nest – A Brunch Joint’s unique approach to brunch dining.

A bit about the Chef…

Antonio has an Afro-Latino background and was born in Ohio…but raised 30 minutes from the Tijuana border in San Diego. He went to college in San Francisco during the mecca of Bay Area food culture in the early 2000’s. He has lived in Los Angeles County for the last 15 years in Long Beach and hopes to bring elements of ALL of these rich traditions to his Chef Series.

What can you expect from The Chef Series?

It’s the end of the year and we have had a great season of Chef Series. It’s time to close out with the warm flavors of autumn. There’s so much more to the flavors of the fall than pumpkin spice. As the chill enter our Southern California air come and enjoy the tastes and smells of fall and winter.

What’s on the menu?

course 1 burnt tortilla casaba soup | course 2 cranberry | course 3 sweet potato taquito | course 4 turkey mole | course 5 pumpkin spice blondie brownie

What about the drinks?

All the drinks will be fun and inspired cocktails, mocktails and other libations that directly pair with the food.

Antonio can’t think of a better way to celebrate 10 Years of The Nest than to curate and cook for his favorite event, with his favorite people (you)!
