Kahn, who previously rose to fame for his cooking at the now closed Red Medicine in Beverly Hills and also runs Destroyer, describes his new culinary venture as a “gastronomical experiment seeking to disrupt the course of the modern restaurant.”
Known for his avant-garde approach to presentation, he layers flavors and components in hand-thrown ceramic dishes and bowls. At Vespertine he is creating an 18-course tasting menu at $250 per person, served in an intimate 22-seat dining room. The dining experience takes place in a two-story structure designed by world-renowned architect Eric Owen Moss. The Culver City destination is separated into four levels; there are no traditional walls, instead the building is wrapped by an architectural skin—a curtain of undulating steel and glass.
The ultimate tasting menu experience.
