Beyond the Destination: A Culinary Experience to Remember 🍽️✨
At Call Carmen Collection, we believe travel is about more than where you go. It’s about the experiences you collect along the way.
While in Milwaukee, our Founder & Chief Journey Curator, Carmen Smith, had the pleasure of attending an extraordinary private Chef’s Table at EsterEv featuring Chef Dan Jacobs and Chef Tristen Epps, both familiar faces from Bravo’s Top Chef.
From the thoughtfully curated menu to the creativity and artistry behind every course, the evening was a beautiful reminder that some of the most memorable travel experiences happen around a table.
Chef Dan’s Milwaukee restaurants, EsterEv and DanDan, are already among Carmen’s favorite culinary discoveries. And if you ever visit DanDan, the crab rangoons are a must!
This special evening brought together exceptional culinary talent, innovative flavors, and the opportunity to connect with the chefs behind the experience.
Because sometimes the destination is just the beginning.
