Let's take a trip to Yosemite with Tiki's Grill & Bar's Executive Chef Ronnie Nasuti, Sous Chef Jason Berndt & Sales Event Coordinator Jennifer Wardrip.
Good morning San Francisco! Early morning flight over the Pacific!
Chef knives, favorite utensils, and key ingredients packed up ready to go
Is there a joke somewhere that says "What happens when you take 2 chefs out of the kitchen?" kidding. Road trip time!! Hydration and music is key, and finding a missing piece for the gala dinner- a fish aerator to wow for the first course!
If you know, Hawaii does NOT have In & Out Burger so clearly this Hawaiian crew knew where they were headed.

Sun is almost down as we arrive and get checked in and briefed for our session

Waking up the next morning to this cool crisp setting!
Grabbing some breakfast before getting in the kitchen to start the prep work.
Our culinary demonstration with Chef Ronnie will be in this exquisite grand setting this afternoon. Chef Ronnie doesn’t often have to leave paradise for work...but when he does- it’s to share his passion and vision with our growing ohana in other memorable places around the globe 😌
