Babalio “Tai’talian" Dinner

Part of la Spiga's Future of Diversity Guest Chef Program

FEBRUARY GUEST CHEFS:
TIFFANY RAN – Babalio Taiwanese Pop Up
in collaboration with JOHNNY FELLIN – Brothers & Co.
Babalio is a pop-up focused on showcasing Taiwanese flavors. Tiffany Ran is a Taiwanese American chef who has worked in Seattle’s restaurant kitchens for over a decade. She founded Babalio Taiwanese Pop-Up in 2018 after years of feeling homesick and unable to find many of the dishes she missed from home. Chef Johnny Fellin and Tiffany met while working together at Brothers & Co. and the two often talk about the crossovers between Italian and Taiwanese cuisines. This dinner will reflect this interesting and tasty cultural fusion.
