Our chef series dinner shows are an amazing event! You've got to experience this dope night of EATING, education, & fun thru this unique brunch dining event.

Did you hear?!? April is Antonio’s birthday month!! He can’t think of a better way to celebrate his life than at Chef Series with his favorite people…cooking for them! So come celebrate his special day, celebrate 10 Years of The Nest and let’s celebrate a new season of our Chef Series on April 26th!

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

We took a couple months off to retool and revamp our Chef Series and this year we are coming back stronger than ever! We have an awesome surprise for you…April’s Chef Series will be featuring The Nest: A Brunch Joint’s Founder Antonio Cortez Appling and Friends. Being that this is the first Chef Series of The Nest’s celebratory 10 Year Anniversary Year Antonio wanted to take the reins and sprinkle his own approach towards gastronomy. Antonio will be inviting his friends from the community, colleagues and neighbors to offer insight and inspiration for his menu.

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?

As always The Chef Series will feature 6 courses highlighting elevated and diverse ingredients. We will have a great DJ providing musical aesthetics and our wonderful ambiance transformed for the event. A great Host will walk you through each course and you’ll have a chance to hear from Antonio offering insight about cooking techniques and inspirations for each dish. If you haven’t been, this is truly a unique evening of education, food and experience.

What’s on the menu?

Antonio has decided to do an elevated taco menu featuring his life and inspiration in taco form. Think of multiple layers of international flavors and tastes like you may have never had before. Antonio has hinted at doing a taco inspired by Hot Honey Chicken with a pickle tequila slaw and hibiscus pickled onion.

What about the drinks?

All the drinks will be fun Mexican inspired cocktails, mocktails and other libations. Antonio is bringing in a guest bartender to curate the menu and helm the bar for the evening.
