Chef Collaboration Series
Next date: WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 19
Gaijin is thrilled to welcome chef Lawrence Letrero of Bayan Ko on Wednesday, November 19th, for the fifteenth installment of our Chef Collaboration series! Chef Letrero will be in house from 6 - 8 p.m. to showcase his unique osaka-style okonomiyaki special.
Okonomiyaki means “have it your way, griddled”, and we’re always thrilled to customize the dish for each and every one of our guests.
Each month, to show just how versatile the dish can be, we’re teaming up with a series of award-winning Chicago chefs to showcase osaka-style okonomiyaki, THEIR way.
Each chef will be in house for one night only sharing their dish.
These will be can’t-miss events, and we are so excited to see what these chefs will be cooking up!
