At OpenTable, we believe something powerful happens when people gather around the table. Which is why we were proud to return to Los Angeles on May 9th as the official dinner sponsor of the Gold House Gold Gala, one of the most electric nights in Asian Pacific cultural recognition. The evening had a clear heartbeat: food. Our CEO Debby Soo took the main stage alongside Chrissy Teigen to introduce Chef Justin Pichetrungsi of Anajak Thai—James Beard Award winner, LA Times Restaurant of the Year, and one of the most exciting culinary voices in the country. Chef Justin's extraordinary menu took center stage, beautifully highlighting our commitment to championing world-class culinary talent. We were also thrilled to share the table with Tim Flores and Genie Kwon of Kasama, celebrating the chefs and makers who show what a meal can mean. That's what Gold Gala gets right every year. Nights like this are a reminder of what's possible when people gather around the same table. Watch our "Meet the Chef behind the Gold Gala dinner"—including Debby and Chrissy's moment on stage.
