Last October in LA, Harana held its first event as the provider of food pairings for a wine tasting to launch my good friend's wine club, Bacchus Room. A few hiccups aside, I was content with the menu, the attendees were all smiles (thanks wine), the event was a great bash.

At this time, I was already penning a follow up event to close out the year. It was basically poised to be a punky Filipino/Southeast Asian steakhouse/Animal to sort of ride out in the direction of stuff I was cooking last year. The menu was far along and planning was going well with guidance from fresh experience from the first event.

In parallel to this, I was working as a product designer in LA and hunting for a new gig. Just a week after the Bacchus Room event, I was blessed with a new opportunity in the Bay Area. So with hitting the ground running at my new job and doing so in less known territory (where I hadn't developed my sourcing digs for niche ingredients that I had on lock in So-Cal) the year-end event was shelved.

Also shelved were plans to follow up last year's Noodles Calendar with something for 2016 as I couldn't think of a theme in time for NYE—all while I was sitting on a pile of original recipe sketches for the steakhouse event (idiot). Eventually, things clicked and these two shelved projects became this unshelved hybrid project and here it is... way late. PDF download link is on the left. Enjoy.
