About the Chef

Chef Tea, is the executive chef of Little Los Angeles — a culinary collective showcasing Afro-Futurist cuisine. Using the elements of salt, fat, heat, acidity, balance, texture, music, ambiance, company, and lastly conversation, Chef Tea introduces a farmers-market-to-table approach to craft exquisitely-practical dishes. Using nostalgia as the main ingredient, Chef Tea introduces flavors that are familiar and comfortable to the palate while adding a refreshing perspective. "I feel that food is the common denominator that sits at the intersection of our cultures. Los Angeles possesses a rich cultural landscape that continues to shape me as a person and creator. When I set foot in the kitchen, I bring everything with me from the traditions of my family to my formal training in Hawaii. I see every dish I create as a profound expression of my personal growth and that's what I hope to share with the audience."
