SUMMARY:Master Chef: South Asian Street Food Featuring Tapori & Daru Chef\, Suresh Sundas\, 2026 James Beard Award & RAMMY Finalist
DESCRIPTION:In-person Register HereHill Center is thrilled to welcome acclaimed Chef Suresh Sundas whose class will feature several standout dishes from Tapori and Daru. \nChef Suresh Sundas’ (James Beard Foundation Finalist: Best Chef Mid-Atlantic 2026\, RAMMY Rising Culinary star of the year 2025 winner\, Rammy 2022 Best new restaurant\, Food & Wine Magazine 2024 Global Tastemaker) cooking journey began in his mom’s home kitchen in the rural Pathari village of the Morang district of his native Nepal. He grew up watching her prepare traditional dishes with much love and care called Raksi- which is ‘local Daru’ at home\, igniting his passion for cooking. \nAfter working in Nepal at Hotel Deurali in 2001\, he arrived in the US in 2007 on an immigrant visa\, and when he came to the United States he had no idea how to find a job and worked at 7-11\, living in an apartment shared with family and friends. He always used to cook meals for everyone\, and one day he made chicken curry and was told he needed to work in a restaurant- which began his quest for culinary ambition. \nOver time\, experimenting with different ingredients and techniques became a creative outlet\, and he realized how much joy food can bring to people. His philosophy about food and dining centers around creating dishes that are approachable and creates experiences that delights senses and respects both the ingredients and the environment. He believes in using fresh\, high-quality ingredients and prioritizes sustainability by sourcing locally whenever possible. His approach to menu creation is rooted in a balance of seasonal flavors and cultural diversity\, aiming to offer a range of options that cater various tastes and dietary preferences. \nEvery dish created is deeply connected to its origins—whether that’s through traditional techniques\, regional flavors\, or the cultural stories behind the ingredients. He feels that food with roots tells a story and offers a sense of authenticity and connection that gives the dining experience new heights. \nLearn more about Tapori and Daru here. \nComplimentary beer and wine will be served. \nPLEASE NOTE: Tickets are non-refundable. We apologize for any inconvenience.
