"The Healdsburg all-day vegan restaurant will host Los Angeles’s Kusaki owner-chef Pearl Steffie to cook alongside the house team: on May 9 a $110 five-course dinner and on May 10 a $90 hands-on "sip and sushi" event. Baruch Ellsworth’s desserts may be a highlight, and the appearances offer a rare chance for Bay Area diners to try Steffie’s plant-based sushi- and izakaya-inspired dishes; Steffie won VegOut’s 2024 Chef of the Year award." - Paolo Bicchieri
