Always grateful…

Before there was @ocean_subs there was @province_sf

Thank you to @migrationwine @paraduxxwine & @__latinag for putting together a great event and to @thechefandre for inviting me to collaborate on this amazing Filipino themed dinner in Napa. I’m always excited to showcase Filipino cuisine, to not only share our heritage but who we are as chefs and where we’ve come from, to put on display flavors, ingredients, skill and creativity. I am truly grateful to have been a part of this night and hope for many more to come. Thank you.

Something I’ve been working on…

I first approached the Kims over two years ago about taking over their business, Deli World, a sandwich shop that’s been around for 30 years. (Over two years ago - before the show The Bear came out so references are great but no, it’s not where I got the idea from 🙄) Conversations were casual while I was looking at other places but out of all of them this one had the most potential.

I knew I wanted something in my neighborhood. I was born, raised and live in the Excelsior and it would mean more to me to have my first brick and mortar in this neighborhood whatever the business was going to be. To give back to my neighborhood. To use the skills I’ve learned the past 17 years to feed people because at the end of the day that’s what I do, feed people. To create community within these four walls and bring neighbors together.

In January I decided to put in an offer with help from an agent. We negotiated with the Kims, then the landlord until we finally came to terms in June and got the keys on July 15, 2024.

I know it sounds weird and most wouldn’t understand why I’m doing this. It’s not exactly aligned with my career path up until now but for some reason, right now, this is my purpose. My life is more aligned now than I can ever recall. A lot of times I’ve had doubts and I still do but God, the universe, my angels, whatever it may be keeps pushing me forward in ways I can’t explain. Gives me confidence that this is what I’m supposed to do. I don’t know how this whole thing will turn out but I do know I’ll have no regrets because I followed my instincts and I put my all into it.

So follow along with @ocean_subs as I go through the challenges of opening and the day to day stuff along the way.

And for those wondering “what about @province_sf?” It’s not going anywhere. It’s always been my passion and I still plan on starting it back up soon. Keep an eye out for open dates and reservations.

I can’t wait for you all to come in and have lunch or just to come visit and say hi. Let’s have some fun in The E! Lessssgooo!

Looking back at some of my favorite dishes from the past…
And looking forward for what’s to come….

Kids are out of school, and summer is in full swing so what better time to take a break and enjoy some of this great weather than now.

I’d like to give a huge thank you to all my guests that joined me here at Province these last few years. And with that being said, I’ll be taking some time off from Province to work on some other things starting July 1.

This is definitely not the end but the beginning of a new chapter for myself and for Province as it continues to grow and evolve so stay tuned for future dates and events. Menu development and recipe testing never ends.

Again, thank you for all of your support and I look forward to seeing all again very soon. Cheers!

-Chef Lee Opelinia

Laing Toast - pronounced (Lah-ing) Yam Leaf Laing, Toasted Puto, Kabocha Puree, Andre Farms Purple Daikon from the terroir of Napa Valley @andre.da.giant 😂

Spring vegetables are coming back to the farmers market and so is this dish. Think cream of spinach but with yam leaves and flavors or coconut milk, ginger and thai chili.

Puto is a steamed cake I lined in banana leaves. Then toasted just before service.

This week’s course #2 on the tasting menu.

*Late Appreciation Post* - I took a night off last week to check out @larrythemusical, the story of Larry Itliong, a Filipino labor organizer in California responsible for unionizing Filipino farm workers.

The show was amazing and the singing blew me away. Powerful, emotional, uplifting. This post will not do it justice. There’s one week left of showtimes and if there’s seats still available I suggest buying some right away. If not, read about Larry Itliong and his impact on American history.

Thank you to the cast, crew and every single person involved in putting this together. The story needs to be told. 🇵🇭 taken in Brava Theater Center by @province_sf
