Collaboration Nation: Chef Shola Teams Up with Ela’s Chef Jason for Japanese-Inspired Feast

Our access to authentic Japanese cuisine in Philadelphia has been made easier thanks to chefs like Shola Olunloyo of Studiokitchen and Jason Cichonski of Ela, who are pushing the limits to present the finest food around. They’re each going beyond the typical fare to utilize true Japanese ingredients. On Tuesday, October 23rd, they’ll be doing just that as a dynamite duo.

That’s right, Shola Olunloyo and Jason Cichonski will be teaming up in the kitchen to create a masterful meal that combines fine Japanese ingredients with the modernist movement. Guests who attend will taste something completely unique, presented in a way they’ve never seen before.

The dinner, unfolding at Ela, will feature five courses and costs $75 per person. There will be an optional beverage pairing that includes sake, shochu and yuzu shu. Reservations are suggested, and can be made by calling 267-687-8512.
