And meet our local guest Chef Cal Abdinoor. In 2023, Chef Cal Abdinoor was featured on the competitive cooking show Chopped, where he was runner up and became friends with the shows champion Chef Labaki (a local favorite and featured quest chef at Curate). With that said, we are elated to be featuring chef Cal for this event, and can’t wait to see all of you there! If you have any questions please reach out!
