We’re a few days late but holy s**t our Culinary Director, DaMenga, turned 30 on Monday. I can’t say enough about what a great collaborator, mentor, and creative thinker Chef DaMenga is. Every year when his birthday comes around I’m shocked by how young he is. He carries himself with so much professionalism and maturity. The sky is the limit for him and we feel so lucky to be a part of his journey. Neither Oma’s or Gado would be the restaurants that they are without him. HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHEF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How incredibly beautiful is Chef Amanda Sullivan’s legendary Bay Scallop Crudo?? With a white shoyu & kombu cure, melon & apricot nectar, coconut pandan cream, candied anchovy, and turmeric & squid ink krupuk it’s perfectly Gado and perfectly her.

We are so lucky to live in the same state as Culinary Breeding Network 💗 by Lane Selman and I am beyond excited that they’ve invited me to talk about food and family at Field Notes!!!!
This is a new one-day food symposium from the Food Innovation Center & Culinary Breeding Network 💗 by Lane Selman happening on Friday, October 23rd at The Redd in Portland!
Join us for a full day dedicated to the stories behind our food — the farmers, plant breeders, chefs, distillers, fermenters, and makers whose work shapes flavor long before it reaches the table. Expect talks, demonstrations, and tastings, plus breakfast, lunch, and a group dinner all prepared by local chefs, all shared with people who care about this work as much as you do.
Come for the deeper conversations, stay for the community — and make a weekend of it: Field Notes takes place the day before the Sagra del Radicchio e Fagioli.
Tickets available at the link in Food Innovation Center bio

I’ve had this poster from The Houston Blacklight company for about 25 years. It hung on the wall of my first apartment and every place I’ve lived since until it came to its final resting place in the Gado bathroom. The other night in a moment of cosmic kismet the woman who posed for this illustration in 1969 happened to eat here at Gado!! She was just visiting town for a wedding and saw herself hanging in our restroom. She told us all about the teenage artist George Goode who created these iconic posters and was such a hoot. The universe is wild. I love it, I’m just so happy to be here.
