PRIVATE EVENTS

Inventing Expectations

Trumpet mushroom “chicken” kimchi quesadilla. Carrots smoked and grilled like hotdogs. Jackfruit glazed and tender as ribs. And rolling out meatballs with the perfect bite—so rich and textured you’d never know the difference.

The best part? It's made with love, no pretension—just straight-up good vibes.​

COLLABORATIONS

No Labels

​I want to shift how people and communities experience plant-inspired cuisine. Plant Based Papi is all about culture, creativity, and community. TV. Digital media. Brand activations. Chef collaborations. Whatever I’m doing, it’s about advancing conversations and pushing the boundaries.
