We’re honored to feature Che Fico and Executive Chef David Nayfeld as the next partners in Hi Neighbor Hospitality’s Eat Like a Chef, Drink Like a Somm dinner series, where a portion of proceeds directly support culinary training and mentorship for Bay Area youth. Known for their bold, rustic Italian-Californian cuisine and deeply rooted hospitality, Che Fico is a San Francisco staple—and a perfect fit for this intimate June 7 gathering. This sold-out dinner is just the beginning. We’ll be announcing three more private chef pop-up dinners in partnership with Hi Neighbor for July, August, and September. Stay tuned for what’s next.
