SEATTLE – Alaska Airlines is partnering with chef Brandon Jew, owner of Michelin-starred restaurant Mister Jiu’s in San Francisco, to offer an exclusive menu to first-class guests on flights between San Francisco International and John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York.
Inspired by Jew’s Cantonese heritage, the menu will include dishes such as rice porridge, black cod with silken tofu and slow-braised duck with sesame egg noodles. The airline uses the same high-quality poultry as Mister Jiu’s for its Peking duck.
“I am thrilled to partner with Alaska Airlines… connecting my hometown of San Francisco to New York, a city I’ve always wanted to live in,” said Jew. “Luxury starts with quality ingredients, which underscores our shared values. At Mister Jiu’s, we are constantly evolving and redefining Chinese American cuisine in the Bay Area while advocating for global recognition of Chinese cuisine – the partnership with Alaska Airlines takes Chinese cuisine to a new level from coast to coast.”
Todd Traynor-Corey, general manager of guest products for Alaska Airlines, said, “Our relationship with Chef Jew has been going on for several years, including working together to give back to the residents of San Francisco’s Chinatown. His commitment to quality, culinary craftsmanship and philanthropy is completely in line with our values.”
