Welcoming its loyal following of neighborhood regulars and foodies far-and-wide, The Cottage La Jolla is set to host a pop-up dining event on Friday, May 19, in honor of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. Executive Chef Paolo Chan—a Marine Veteran-turned-chef who’s presided over The Cottage’s homestyle classics and cult favorites since joining the team in 2019— brings his Polynesian roots and worldwide travels to the forefront through an eight-course, prix-fixe menu. Weaving multicultural influences of pan-Asian cuisine throughout, the east-meets-west lineup features dishes like seaweed pesto udon with seared ahi, grilled adobo musubi and sisig bahn mi. Tickets are priced at $85 per person with a portion of proceeds benefitting the San Diego Asian Pacific Islander Coalition, a group of local organizations and advocates for San Diego’s AAPI community. A detour from The Cottage’s daypart bread-and-butter, May’s inaugural event will kick-off a new once-monthly summer dinner series. Under Chef Paolo’s creative purview, each one-night-only tasting menu will center around seasonal ingredients, regional influences, and thoughtful pairings. Stay Connected on Social Media!
