It was his upbringing in France, consuming the best local produce and products that informed his culinary philosophy today. Born and raised in La Mans, France, Serus was inspired to become a chef after spending time in his grandmother’s kitchen and working at his uncle’s bakery during school vacations. Since 2019, he has served as the Executive Chef of Montage Laguna Beach, overseeing the flagship resort’s culinary efforts of The Loft, Mosaic Bar and Grille, Lobby Lounge, in-room dining, banquets, weddings and special events. By bringing these culinary artists back to the source, we give them an opportunity to connect with new ingredients, find fresh inspiration in our bioregion’s historic foodways, and discover the rewards of relationship with the land.įor more than 25 years, Chef David Serus has worked with renowned luxury hotels and Michelin star restaurants across the United States and Europe. This beloved event brings a renowned chef to our farm to design an ecological meal around our four seasonal rotations (market garden, milpa, fruit forest, cover crops). We are delighted to welcome Community Table back for the 2023 Spring Series. Join us for an edible conversation between a farm, a chef, and the community.
