Hallandale Beach, FL – May 21, 2021 – SOBEWFF tapped the Food Network’s resident Asian-Fusion King, Jet Tila, to share his culinary experience and seasoned palette with lucky Festival guests. Tila sizzled, sliced and seared Asian-inspired ingredients to create renditions of fan-favorite Thai dishes. Opening the kitchen to Tila was ETARU Hallandale’s Head Chef Davide D’Agostino. Tila’s roots in Asian cuisine began with his birth into the first Thai food family of Los Angeles, California – a family which established the first Thai markets and restaurants in the U.S. He brings innovation and artistry into the traditional Thai food fold to create a signature style that is at heart, his own. Having shared his specialty style of cooking on the Food Network’s Chopped, Cutthroat Kitchen, and Iron Chef America, as well as currently serving as chef at The Charleston and Pakpao Thai restaurants, it is safe to say that Tila is a master of Asian cuisine. Guests joined Tila and D’Agostino beachside at ETARU Hallandale for an exotic and bold culinary trip through pan-Asian flavors, perfectly complemented by scotch whisky cocktails curated by Dewar’s.
