Melisse, 15 Years Later

Josiah Citrin is the chef/owner of the two Michelin-starred restaurant Melisse in Santa Monica. This week is the 15 year anniversary of the restaurant. Citrin reflects on what has changed and what has stayed the same at the popular establishment and guides us through one of the restaurant’s quintessential dishes: roast chicken.

Josiah will be hosting a Protégé Dinner with a number of his past cooks, including Brendan Collins and Nyesha Arrington. Then on Monday, 9/15 he’ll host a Mentor Dinner with chefs which he considers to have been (and continue to be) mentors for him early in his career, including Wolfgang Puck and Joachim Splichal.
