Chef Chris Piro
Chef Chris Piro has honed his craft in some of the most celebrated kitchens in the world. From interning at Michelin-starred restaurants to working alongside some of the industry’s best, he has dedicated his career to pushing culinary boundaries while staying true to his passion for bold, ingredient-driven cooking.
Born in the Central Valley of California, Chris's love for food started early, inspired by the rich agricultural roots of Stockton, where fresh, vibrant ingredients were always within reach. After serving in the Air Force, he found his true calling in hospitality, leading him to work at renowned restaurants such as Staplehouse, Boka, Koks, Kadeau, and Please, where he refined his technique and deepened his appreciation for thoughtful, expressive cuisine.
Today, Chris brings his pop-up dining experiences to select cities across the country, offering guests an unforgettable culinary journey. But these pop-ups are about more than just food. One hundred percent of the proceeds go toward supporting the Again. Foundation, using the power of hospitality to make a lasting impact.
The Again. Foundation
One hundred percent of the proceeds from these dinners go toward supporting the foundation’s mission of creating meaningful opportunities for foster youth. Through scholarships, we aim to provide them with the resources, education, and mentorship they need to build a brighter future.
These pop-ups are more than just dining events; they are immersive culinary experiences that use food as a powerful vehicle for storytelling, connection, and community impact. Each dinner is designed to spark conversation, honor the personal narratives behind each dish, and bring people together in a shared experience that extends far beyond the table.
By blending hospitality with purpose, we strive to make a tangible difference—one meal, one story, and one opportunity at a time
