Our continuing guest, Tony Dang, is the Corporate Executive Chef for the 27 Gelson’s stores in Southern California. Every location has a Gelson’s Kitchen where shoppers can get everything from fresh coleslaw to full meals typically prepared in the onsite kitchen. On offer are full Hanukkah and Christmas meals or all the components available separately. There are also a variety of chef-created meals to-go. Most stores even have an onsite sushi chef.

Chef Tony also conducts interactive cooking classes and demonstrations as well as cooks for in-store wine-paired dinners.

The newest Gelson’s will be opening in January in Toluca Lake. It’s a pocket market with a walk-up window for coffee and breakfast, seating for lunch and an indoor and outdoor fine wine.
