"After the closure of three-Michelin-starred Manresa, chef David Kinch will transform the former space into Ritual at Manresa, a residency-style venue where world-class chefs will post up for three-week residencies — including Ángel León (Aponiente), Paolo Casagrande (Lasarte), and Isaac McHale (The Clove Club)." - Lauren Saria
"I learned the Los Gatos space will transform into Ritual at Manresa, a program of three-week-long residencies by chefs from Michelin-starred restaurants around the globe beginning January 17, 2024; Kinch is involved as the culinary ambassador assembling a rotating monthly lineup. Tickets start at $450 per person with optional wine and nonalcoholic pairings, there are just 48 seats available every evening, and a membership allows subscribers to book dinners throughout 2024, snag last-minute seats, take part in chef meet-and-greets, reserve the private room, and access other features. Tickets for the Ritual’s first two residencies went live on December 14." - Dianne de Guzman
"Following the closure of chef David Kinch’s game-changing Northern California restaurant Manresa at the end of last year, fans now have a chance to snap up some of the gems from the restaurant’s wine cellar at auction." - Lauren Saria
"After a 20-year run I saw that David Kinch’s flagship three-Michelin-star restaurant closed on December 31; Kinch initially announced plans to step away and sell the business and property in August, then decided to close entirely in November. Over its two decades it helped shape the California dining scene, and I noted that many of its alumni have gone on to open some of the region’s top restaurants and bakeries." - Lauren Saria
"I noted that Manresa will close at the end of the year following Chef David Kinch’s earlier departure; reservations for December were slated to release on November 14 with a final New Year’s Eve blowout service priced at $725 for the tasting menu plus $325 for optional wine pairings." - Paolo Bicchieri
