Featuring Chefs Alex Chang and Jon Gray
Chef Alex Chang and sommelier Lina Goujjane of Kiko—recently named to Esquire’s “Best New Restaurants” list—join forces with Jon Gray, co-founder of the Bronx-born Ghetto Gastro, for a special dinner that will highlight Gray’s new project, Gourmega. In just under a year, Kiko has become a downtown fixture, earning a devoted following for its globally inspired, ingredient-driven cooking and Lina Goujjane’s sharply curated wine and sake program. For this collaboration, Chang’s Asian-accented cuisine—shaped by his multicultural background and international training—meets Gray’s point of view, honed through years of building Ghetto Gastro into a culture-shaping force rooted in the Bronx. Expect a menu that brings these two kitchens into conversation, with dishes that reflect both Chang's signature cooking style alongside an early look at Gourmega, Gray’s next chapter at the table.
This one-night-only dinner will feature a cocktail reception with passed hors d'oeuvre upon arrival, an expertly crafted multi-course menu with thoughtfully curated wine or beverage pairings, and a Q&A with the featured chefs.
