About the Host
Chef Stieber made quite a name for himself in ATL with his wildly popular pop-up, Eat Me Speak Me. Diners savored his raw beef lettuce wraps, gnudi (like gnocchi but made with ricotta instead of potatoes), and blondies with whiskey milk. Named an Eater Young Gun in 2014 and 2017 and a Semi-Finalist for James Beard's ultra-prestigious "Rising Star Chef" Award in 2016, Chef Stieber opened his own restaurant, Little Bear, in Summerhill, just two weeks before COVID hit. Little Bear’s menu focuses on seasonal produce and proteins from local farms, presented with a spirit of creativity that is playful, witty, and thoroughly original. That spirit is evident in the takeout dishes he has been offering during the pandemic, like Chicken Liver Custard and Mal Matzo Balls (a kind of Sichuan hot pot) and Dan Dan Carrots & Cabbage (chilled roasted carrots and bok choi, slathered with pecan dan dan sauce, spring onions, and “tzimmes umami magic”).
About the Event
Chef Stieber welcomed us into his home kitchen (via livestream), and taught us how to cook a multi-course meal showcasing his inventive Chinese/Jewish fusion cuisine (see full menu below). And, as is always the case at our events, he took plenty of questions from attendees while he cooked and participated in an extended Q&A to close out the night!
