How a Master Chef Created a Michelin-Starred Restaurant in a Mall Food Court — Mise En Place

Michelin-starred Dialogue serves a seasonal 18-course tasting menu out of an 800-square-foot space inside a mall food court in Santa Monica. Executive chef and owner Dave Beran’s highly conceptual menu features dishes that symbolize the layers of the ground, hidden under leaves in winter, like a dish featuring pumpkin seeds covered in burnt parsley that simulates the twigs and seeds of a forest floor, or a black sesame and whipped yuzu course that resembles a spoonful of dirt. Eater would like to assure viewers that all videos were shot before restaurants were asked to close. Check the CDC for the most updated guidance on dining out at restaurants.
