Recognized as one of the nation’s top food destinations, San Francisco’s culinary scene thrives on fresh, local ingredients, diverse cultural influences, and a constant drive to innovate. Chefs here are known for pushing boundaries, blending tradition with creativity to deliver unforgettable dining experiences.

Tonight’s program showcases acclaimed chefs from some of the city’s most beloved restaurants. They’ll share their journeys—how they became chefs and restaurateurs, the challenges they’ve faced, and memorable moments from their kitchens. 

Each chef will also treat us to small bites, making this an evening that’s both inspiring and delicious.

A Nutrition, Food & Wellness Member-led Forum program. Forums at the Club are organized and run by volunteer programmers who are members of The Commonwealth Club, and they cover a diverse range of topics. Learn more about our Forums.
