Guest Chef Night with Chef Grayson Pilar of MariPili Tapas Bar
Please join us as we welcome Chef Grayson Pilar of MariPili Tapas Bar for a special evening as we celebrate our students, build community and enjoy an incredible meal. Guest Chef Night pairs premier local chefs with FareStart students to create a three-course meal served by volunteer community members. All revenue and donations from Guest Chef Night support FareStart’s job training and placement programs.
Chef Grayson learned to cook from her abuela and seeks to bring her nostalgia surrounding Spanish cuisine to the table to share with friends and family. She has studied food in Spain and worked an internship at Galicia’s only 2 star Michelin restaurant. Chef Grayson named her restaurant after her aunt, MariPili.
Chef Grayson was nominated for “Best Chef: Northwest and Pacific” in 2024 by the James Beard Foundation.
