This weekend’s Haitian Heritage Month feature at Michael’s Genuine comes from Evenie 🇭🇹
Starting TODAY May 15 through Sunday May 17, we’ll be serving her Haitian Beef Patties / Pâté Kode with pikliz. It’s her son’s favorite dish she makes at home, and our @chefmschwartz gives it his stamp of approval at the end of the reel 👀
Evenie has been with us for over 3 years, working her way from dishwasher and prep cook to line cook. And to make this one even more special, today is her birthday 🥳
Each weekend this month at MGFD, we’re spotlighting one of our cooks and a dish that reflects their roots, story, and the food they love to share!
Starting off with a little this or that action before heading to Philly for the @greatchefsevent benefiting @alexslemonade on June 13, an organization funding childhood cancer research and support for families, a cause that’s very important to me.
Hard to believe this will be my 14th year participating in this incredible event. Excited to see so many friends, familiar faces, and cook alongside some great chefs for a really meaningful weekend.
The event may be sold out, but you can still support by donating or bidding in the silent auction at greatchefsevent.org 🍋
Happy Mothers Day to all the beautiful mothers out there that make the world go round. Missing mine every day, especially on this day. Call your moms, tell her you love her. Not just today, but often. If you are fortunate enough to still have one, go for a visit. Make her feel special. You only get one. I love you mom ❤️
This weekend at Michael’s Genuine, we’re kicking off our Haitian Heritage Month specials with Lourdes’ Griot 🇭🇹
A Haitian classic made with marinated pork shoulder, pikliz (a spicy Haitian pickled slaw made with cabbage, carrots, peppers + vinegar), herbs, and traditional diri djon djon black mushroom rice.
Lourdes has been part of our team for nearly 6 years, first starting in our commissary kitchen before joining MGFD full time after renovations. She’s someone our team can always count on, always going above and beyond to make sure everyone is set up for success!
She’s featured this dish on our menu before and guests absolutely loved it, so we had to bring it back.
Available all day TODAY Fri 8 thru Sunday May 10! 🇭🇹

I love our neighborhood! And I love finding delicious gems within walking distance. I love @the.loveloaf ! Thank you Suzana and Javier for your dedication to the craft, your kind hospitality but most of all for your delicious treats. The teams at @michaelsgenuine and @amaraatparaiso were very happy with today’s haul. I know I was.
Chef @monsieurzuniga back at it again behind the scenes with our very popular tuna carpaccio! 🐟 as @chefmschwartz says, our OG (circa 2021) tuna carpaccio still shines!
The freshest tuna, pressed daily with kohlrabi, shiso, soy aioli, & furikake.

The best thing about doing what I do is the places it has taken me and the people I met along the way
And say what you want about California. But it is hands down one of the most stunning places in the entire world. The mountains and cliffs and rocks and beaches. The expansive Pacific Ocean humbles you. The sunsets. The air. The beauty. Wow
On this trip for @pebblebeachfoodandwine , spending time with some of my favorite chefs, somms and personalities was the best part. @chefjwaxman , @chefjimmybradley , @joecampanaro , @chefsymon , @joeisidori , @cheftimon , @grapicavoli , @gastonyeli , @chefbeckernyc , @pastryschiff , @bigaseidel and of course my amazing wife @rima_k who reminds me how important it is to document it all. Oh and the food was pretty good too!
Thank you Brett, @a21presents and @pebblebeachfoodandwine for an unforgettable weekend.
Also big shout out to all the people that did the hard work herding the cats and planning logistics. It was seamless
A huge shoutout to the women behind our events and group dining at @amaraatparaiso + @michaelsgenuine !
They’re the first call, the last touchpoint, and everything in between. Expertly guiding our guests from idea to execution.
They make our restaurants feel special long before guests even walk through the door.
Thanks ladies!
I’m really looking forward to this Italy trip! Great food, great places, and getting our hands dirty in the kitchen. Stunning villas, laid back but special dinners, and hands on cooking.
