Kristine is the Chef and founder of Epicurean Adventure, a Houston-based private dining company known for tasting menus, cooking classes, and pop-up experiences that bring global flavors to the table.

A Johnson & Wales-trained chef, she draws on her travels and a deep love for the stories behind food, especially the influence of immigrant communities, to create menus that feel personal and a little unexpected.

She's also currently developing her sushi and Japanese butchering skills at Oru, soaking up new techniques every chance she gets.

For this pop-up, she's bringing an Asian-fusion menu to life with the same spirit that drives everything she cooks: curiosity, craft, and a good story behind every dish.
