Brandon Jew Showcases Californian-Cantonese Cuisine at Chefs Club in NYC

The Mister Jiu's chef joins Carrie and Rupert Blease of Lord Stanley and Erik Anderson of Coi for "The 4x4 Dinners."

Northern California chefs are still going strong in New York City with "The 4x4 Dinners" at Chefs Club. Now in the second week of the series, Brandon Jew of one-MICHELIN-starred Mister Jiu's has joined chefs Carrie and Rupert Blease (Lord Stanley) and Erik Anderson (Coi), bringing his "modern Californian spin on the Cantonese classics," as inspectors describe Jew's cooking.

The evening starts with a cocktail hour featuring drinks such as the Time After Thyme (Martin Miller's gin, kalamansi and elderflower tonic) and the Garden Sour (Seedlip Garden, apple, egg white and rosemary), along with passed canapés, including a leek and bacon tartlet with preserved black truffle. Guests also have the option of participating in a tasting of Petrossian caviar while sipping J Cuvée 20 Brut NV. And this is all before sitting down to the six-course tasting menu with wine pairings.
