Poppy Presents: Us Friends with Chef Stephanie Izard and Chef Shota Nakajima

Chef Michael Reed and Kwini Reed invite you to the debut of Us Friends, a chef collaboration series inspired by the culinary friendships that shape us. For this intimate one-night gathering, the Reeds welcome two of their friends and acclaimed chefs: Stephanie Izard (Girl & the Goat, Top Chef) and Shota Nakajima (Taku, Top Chef).

Set in our garden greenhouse, the evening begins with cocktails and bites at sunset, followed by a 7-course seated tasting menu — a celebration of three distinct culinary voices coming together in harmony. Each chef will present two savory dishes, with Chef Michael creating the final dessert course.

Guests can enhance their experience with exclusive enhancement pairings by Moët Hennessy, offered in three premium tiers.

In support of a cause close to our hearts, 15% of all proceeds from this event will benefit No Kid Hungry, helping to end childhood hunger in America.
