From the Chef Plates series.

"The All-Star fried rice is a crowd favorite at Mawn. A luxurious play on The classic crab fried rice. Life is short, eat fancy shit." -Chef Phila

Chef Phila, named after the city he was born in after his family immigrated here from Cambodia, and his wife Rachel Lorn, met working at Zama Restaurant. Chef Zama's signature maki roll was among the first Chef Plates that I painted for this series that started over a decade ago.  Now,  that they have the incredible Mawn,  one of the hottest restaurants in town and James Beard Foundation nominee,  he approached me about painting one of his own signature dishes.  It's a huge honor to paint a dish by one of my favorite restaurants and it was so much fun too.

This beautiful composition is crab fat butter fried rice, bay scallops, poached shrimp, sea urchin over lump crab and topped with smoked trout roe and chives.
