Alaska Airlines is set to redefine its First-Class dining experience by launching an exciting chef partnership with Chef Brandon Jew of Michelin-starred Mister Jiu’s. With this partnership, the airline hopes to bring an exclusive menu to first-class guests between San Francisco International Airport and John F. Kennedy International Airport.
The special menu is available onboard Alaska Airlines flights starting from August 14, 2024, featuring a series of Chef Jew’s signature dishes, including his take on the classic Chinese breakfast porridge known as congee, black cod cooked to perfection with a side of silken tofu and tender slow-braised duck served with savory sesame egg noodles.
Each First-Class dish is exquisitely crafted by Chef Jew, known for blending local and seasonal produce from the San Francisco Bay Area with classic Chinese techniques and flavors. With this the airline banks on continuing its momentum of elevating our already premium First Class dining experience.
We’re grateful to Chef Jew for his partnership in this exciting initiative and ongoing commitment to elevate the travel experience for our guests with sky-high hospitality and world-class cuisine,” said Todd Traynor-Corey, managing director of guest products at Alaska Airlines. “Our relationship with Chef Jew traces back several years ago, including working together to give back to the residents of San Francisco’s Chinatown. His commitment to quality, gastronomic craftsmanship, and philanthropy aligns perfectly with our values.”
The partnership will run for at least one year with seasonal rotations.
Excited to partner with Alaska Airlines, Chef Brandon Jew says: “Luxury begins with quality ingredients, which underscores our shared values. At Mister Jiu’s we are always evolving and defining Chinese American cuisine in the Bay Area while advocating for the global recognition of Chinese food — the partnership with Alaska Airlines elevates Chinese cuisine from coast to coast.”
