Join us at Avant Garden for a special five course wild chanterelle dinner marking the next chapter of our Understory residency.

In the wake of Third Kingdom’s closure, Understory continues that spirit of forest driven cooking in a new home. This dinner centers on wild chanterelles at their seasonal peak, showcased by Chef Juan Pajarito in a menu that explores their golden color, delicate texture, and deep woodland aroma.

June is prime chanterelle season, and this evening celebrates the brief window when these mushrooms are at their most vibrant. Expect a menu that feels immediate, grounded, and deeply tied to the forest floor, with chanterelles woven throughout each course in thoughtful, seasonal ways.

Every wild mushroom dinner in this series has sold out immediately, and this installment carries special weight. It bridges the legacy of Third Kingdom with Avant Garden’s evolving forest cuisine identity.
