FESTIVAL OF FIRE

Matt Hanley is the Co-Chef/Partner at Osito, San Francisco’s only 100 percent live fire, Michelin-starred fine dining experience. Matt heads the pastry and research and development programs at Osito and Liliana and focuses time on building a larder of preserves and ferments for both restaurants.  With collaboration as a core value, Chef Hanley works closely with fellow Osito Co-Owner/Executive Chef Seth Stowaway to create a cohesive and one-of-a-kind dining experience. In tune with the seasons, Matt finds his inspiration from the bounty provided by the local farmers and producers that he has cultivated meaningful relationships with, and often pairs fresh seasonal ingredients with something that exists in Osito’s larder from an earlier season. The result is something new and delightful that incorporates unique layers and depth. While working only with live fire can present challenges, Chef Hanley welcomes the adventure and puts extra thought and consideration into each and every dish. He brings unparalleled creativity and craftsmanship to the Osito team, and his dishes leave an unforgettable impression on guests.

Now, resort guests of Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal will have the exciting opportunity to experience Seth’s special take on fine dining in Mexico. An ideal Guest Chef for our special ‘Festival of Fire’, he will be delighting weekend attendees with open-flame cooking, Baja California-inspired cuisine, and flavorful seasonality during this Fourth of July culinary experience, coming to paradise July 1st-4th.
