FROM VANCOUVER TO JAPAN: PUBLISHED ON MAIN x LURRA
Sunday, April 28th
Chefs Gus Stieffenhofer-Brandson and Jacob Kear are putting on the ultimate cross-continent dining experience for one night only!
In partnership with S. Pellegrino, Kyoto’s celebrated, one Michelin-starred LURRA is visiting Vancouver for a very special chefs collaboration event at Published on Main this spring. On April 28, 2024, Chef Gus Stieffenhofer-Brandson and Jacob Kear of LURRA are creating an exclusive dining experience, highlighting both chefs’ love for foraging and celebrating nature and seasonality — from Vancouver to Japan.
LURRA opened in 2019 in the heart of Kyoto to much acclaim, and received its Michelin star the following year. The restaurant, known for combining innovation, tradition, and nature to present the Japanese seasons and culture to the world, is located in a 130-year old atmospheric Kyomachiya townhouse.
“Jacob and I share a similar ethos in our cooking – honouring the seasons and nature in our dishes – him in Kyoto and me in Vancouver. We’re both big on foraging, pickling, and fermenting, which perhaps reflects our training and background. Although not together, we’ve each spent time at Noma during parts of our careers. I’m really looking forward to welcoming Jacob to our coast, showing him around, and cooking with him.” — Gus Stieffenhofer-Brandson
Tickets are $325++ per person, inclusive of beverage pairings
