Tristan Kwong, a fruit expert, pops up on Rebel Rebel's patio!
We're so excited to host Tristan Kwong for his first pop up at Rebel Rebel!
Tristan, also known as The Fruit Somm, is a former line cook at Bonnie's in Brooklyn. He was in charge of purchasing, sourcing, and curating all of their fruits for their showstopper of a fruit plate. He has also been featured in Bon Appetit.
Tristan will be sourcing some of the best local ingredients and prepping a fantastic menu for y'all to enjoy on the patio!
From Tristan: Hi, I’m Tristan! You might have seen me on Bon Appetit’s YouTube channel, on the streets of NYC's Chinatown shopping for fruit, or in the window at Bonnie’s in Brooklyn. I’m a Chinese-American, born and raised in Queens, NY. I studied economics in college, but now I cook food for a living. I grew up in the most ethnically diverse place in the world and have had the privilege of being exposed to an endless kaleidoscope of cuisine, which has seasoned and influenced my tastes as well as my cooking. After working with many talented chefs and in many talented kitchens - spending long nights sweating, burning, bleeding and cooking - I am beyond thrilled to invite you to my very first, very own pop up! Nothing brings me more joy than cooking and sharing delicious food with people who enjoy it and I can't wait to share it with you!
You'll often hear from children of immigrants that "There is no sorry, there is only the plate of cut fruit." Our emotionally stunted parents showed us that love comes in many forms, but especially in the form of a plate of cut and peeled fruit. Being Chinese American I am no stranger to this idea, I embrace it and want to share it with the world. Come and let me heal our trauma one beautiful fruit plate at a time*. :) (*i am not a licensed therapist)
