Here comes the summer!

Fall 2026 classes will be announced on July 20.

See you in September.

Last Thursday, we concluded our Spring 2026 session and, as is our tradition, gathered around our chalkboard to reflect on the words left behind by each chef at the close of their class. Every evening, we ask our chefs to leave us with something meaningful — a thought, a lesson, or a reflection inspired by food, hospitality, and life. Over the years, these handwritten sentiments have become a cherished part of De Gustibus, capturing the spirit and passion that fill our kitchen night after night.

As we looked back on this season’s collection of quotes, a few in particular truly resonated with us. Here are some highlights.

Join us as Executive Chef Emily Yuen of Michelin-starred Yingtao — a 2025 James Beard Best Chef: New York semifinalist (and previously at Lingo) — leads us through a contemporary interpretation of Chinese flavors, honoring tradition while redefining what Chinese food can be.

Tickets include seated 4-course meal with drink pairings and cooking demos. Info and tickets are in the “classes” link in bio and on the site. See the full menu on slide 2!
