Thank you @chefclaresmyth and @chef_bone for your hospitality and inviting me to spend time in London with you and the team at Core.
It has been an unforgettable experience to work alongside you all and it’s inspired me to keep improving and to do better.
Through the lens of @bon_nappetit , Philadelphia’s most coveted supper club, reimagined.
Ocho Supper Club arrives at The Rittenhouse Hotel for a limited six-month residency, led by @chefrjsmith23 . This intimate, 26-seat experience takes place every other Sunday, where each evening feels more like a private dinner party than a reservation.
Begin with Caribbean-inspired cocktails and refined small plates before settling into a beautifully composed tasting menu. Reservations release 30 days in advance and fill quickly! Secure your spot for this rare culinary experience at the link in our bio.
A night of delicious food, drinks, and good times. 🐟🥂
Thank you to everyone who joined us for Siete Mares with Chef Yun Fuentes @el_hijodealeyda and RJ Smith @chefrjsmith23 of @ochosupper — an unforgettable celebration at Bolo!
Still pinching myself from my time on the Today Show!
Huge shoutout to the amazing team who made it all happen, getting to spend the day with an idol of mine, @danielboulud , learning from his restaurants and his way of thinking—it was unreal. I will always think about this amazing that I got to spend with my family and a lifelong inspiration of mine!
Can’t wait to share what’s coming next! ✨
From a college dorm room table to a 5-course tasting menu that has a months-long waitlist — meet RJ Smith, the Drexel senior turning Afro-Caribbean flavors into one of Philly’s most sought-after dining experiences.
He’s already staged in Michelin-star kitchens, and now he’s building a supper club so popular it’s taking over restaurants across the city. 🍽️ Come inside Ocho Supper Club and see why 40 diners lined up for a seat at his latest pop-up.
👉🏻 Would you try to snag a spot?

As my time at Royal Izakaya comes to an end, I’ve been very glad to have gotten to work with this team and been able to see so many great things. I’m excited to see what they continue here and at the new space! 🏮
I had the opportunity to dine at Californios recently, this meal was stand out in every aspect and the friendly knowledgeable team made it exceptional. The chefs weave passion and a mission of preserving Mexican food culture with an ability to modernizing these flavors and techniques to create a experience that makes you think and appreciate. I am beyond grateful to be able to call many here mentors who have taught me so much.
The tasting menu at Mägo is next level. I enjoyed the bold and passionate flavors of Columbian cuisine. Huge thanks for the team for the hospitality and for everything.
Summer ‘23 Recap 🇬🇧🇪🇸
I had the opportunity to visit London, Madrid, and Barcelona this summer. Eating great food while exploring the cultures and meeting amazing people, passionate about what they do. It was an eye opening experience and had a strong impact on me to see different ways of life. This trip will always be remembered and cherished. I’m looking forward to to bringing this knowledge back to implement and share.
