Chef Lisa Rivera, Chef de Cuisine of The Victorian at Hill Street, is a contestant on Season 24 of "Hell’s Kitchen – Battle of the States," representing California with her culinary talent, creativity and hometown pride. To celebrate this milestone, The Victorian is hosting a special "Hell’s Kitchen Viewing Party" on Thursday, September 25 at 7 p.m. Gather with friends, neighbors and food lovers to cheer on Chef Lisa as she showcases Oceanside’s spirit on one of television’s most iconic culinary competitions. About The Victorian at Hill Street The Victorian is more than a restaurant—it’s a living love letter to Oceanside’s history. Housed in one of the city’s last remaining Queen Anne homes (est. 1888), The Victorian blends old-world charm with a vibrant, modern dining experience. Here, California’s agricultural bounty shines through seasonal, shareable plates inspired by Mediterranean and Latin flavors. Pair it with curated wines or creative cocktails and you’ll find bold flavors at approachable prices in one of the most romantic, community-forward spaces in North County. From its candlelit courtyard dinners to its locally sourced ingredients and female-led vision, The Victorian is where Oceanside gathers—whether for date nights, girls’ nights, or community celebrations like this one. Why This Event Matters Chef Lisa Rivera isn’t just competing for California—she’s carrying Oceanside with her. This event is a chance for locals and visitors alike to rally behind one of our own, celebrating how Oceanside talent is making waves on a national stage.
