How can a restaurant concept blend the deeply personal with the shared experience of gathering for a meal? From interactive dining themes that engage all five senses to colorful menus that honor Southeast Asian street food to cozy, to innovative interiors that are food for the eye, our LAB Talk panelists have done it all. This fall, we're thrilled to welcome James Beard award-winning Christina Nguyen of Hai Hai and Hola Arepa, Aaron Wittkamper of Wittkamper Studio, and Mike Brown, James Beard semi-finalist and part of the Chef-Owner team behind Travail Collective and the forthcoming Stargazer for a panel conversation. Alison Arth of Salt + Roe, an expert in helping culinary entrepreneurs bring their vision to life, will guide our morning.
