A few months ago, food critic Cesar Hernandez came across a curious listing for a restaurant experience where you pay to spend a day in the life of a chef. The chef is David Yoshimura of Nisei, the fine dining Japanese restaurant in Russian Hill. "I’ll admit, at first I thought the idea was pretty hilarious, charging customers $775, or $1,012 with tax and gratuity, for what seemed like a chef influencer event, glamorizing and overcharging for a peek at how the restaurant sausage is made," Cesar writes. "The experience, available to just one customer each Saturday, consists of going to the farmers’ market, then going back to the kitchen to prep and cook, and ends with an 11-course dinner." "Essentially, you’re paying more than $1,000 to work a shift at a restaurant. Is this how rich people like to spend their money? I couldn’t believe it." Read more at the link in our bio.
