A pop-up dinner party by Chef Adam in Aspen and Amanda Rae Food.
Founded on the rooftop of Scarlett’s Aspen in Summer 2019, the Oni Aspen chef’s table experience for up to 22 ticketed guests featured five courses of elevated Asian-Southern fusion fare prepared with Colorado ingredients. A charming combination of the long communal table, twilight views to Aspen Mountain, and Chef Adam’s playful, palate-driven fare drew together new friends. Only in Aspen!
Chef Adam and Amanda Rae met while working together at Burger Bar + Fish (RIP) in Snowmass Base Village in February 2012. Together they have collaborated on many private catered events, theme parties, and Grand Tastings at the Food & Wine Classic in Aspen.
Chef Adam and partners launched the Tanuki To-Go pop-up in Aspen’s historic Crystal Palace in 2018. Tanuki and its raucous kitchen chef’s table drew a robust following, in part for Chef Adam’s rockstar brand of fusion street food. Though that project ended abruptly for redevelopment, the team then headed south to open House of the Rising Tanuki-San in Austin, Texas, which quickly became a bustling restaurant.
