Alaska Airlines has announced a new partnership with Brandon Jew, acclaimed James Beard and Michelin-starred chef. Jew, the chef and owner of Mister Jiu’s, Moongate Lounge and Mamahuhu in San Francisco, has created a special menu for Alaska Airlines First Class passengers traveling between San Francisco and New York.
Available starting August 28, the exclusive menu features dishes inspired by traditional Chinese cuisine with a modern twist. The menu reflects a blend of Chinese-American flavors and features seasonal ingredients from the Bay Area and New York.
Menu highlights include a brown rice porridge with soy-marinated eggs and braised pork belly, accompanied by turnip cake, pickled cauliflower, hoisin and hot chili sauce (served for breakfast, both flights). For lunch or dinner (from SFO only), guests can try a Liberty Farms braised duck leg with sesame egg noodles and gai lan, served with Judas ears, tofu skin and cucumber. Those flying from New York City can enjoy roasted black cod with ginger scallion sauce, silken tofu and mapo sauce, served on a quinoa and farro blend with roasted shiitake mushrooms.
