Many times over the last 15 years I have had the pleasure of dining with chef @travisswikard at one of his amazing restaurants. From Boulud Sud in NYC to @callierestaurant and @fleurettesd in San Diego I couldn’t be more grateful to have him and @miasimone in my life. Amazing humans with the biggest hearts and a whole lot of passion. Cheers to another year, another accomplishment and for what is next to come. Bubbles up! #sandiego #foodie #eater #marysfavoritethings #thechampagnediary

Finally got to experience @fleurettesd by my favorite people @travisswikard @miasimone and I will never be the same. No question the food took me to another plane but the detail in the design, thoughtfulness in the service and vibes sent me over the edge in the best way. We tried the market feast which was the best way to try a little bit of everything from the menu. I need to move to La Jolla asap so I can go all the time!! Merci chef!!

Can’t beat a family lunch @chick.and.hawk ! Smashing some Japanese pickles, and shroom nugs into a 720 birdman, Kona bowl, and a bahn mi while the kids got their favorite tendies in SD. Sipping on some afternoon best of NA fakies by @nickmakesdrinks . Keep crushing @chefbachelier @justcallme.twin @tonyhawk

It's hard to articulate what it means to be a mentor….and even harder to feel like you truly are one. Maybe that's because Travis and I aren't so far apart in age, or maybe it's because this has never been a one-way relationship. We've shown up for each other more times than I can count.

When I first met Travis, he was 18…young, hungry, and already carrying that same energy he walks into every room with today. What's changed since then is everything that matters: he found his people, returned to the city that shaped him, and found Mia, a partner who grounds him in all the right ways.

Last night, Chris and I had the privilege of cooking alongside Travis and his team at Callie as they celebrated five years. Five years. In any industry that's meaningful…in the restaurant world, it's everything. And last night felt like exactly that. The food we cooked, the people in that room, the five years of memory and sacrifice and love that went into building something real, it was a one-of-one night. It will never happen again, and that's what made it sacred.

Wherever you go, whatever room you walk into you shape the outcome by how you show up for the journey. That's what I saw last night. I watched a friend, a mentee, a chef stand in the middle of everything he's worked for and feel it. And at the end of it all, what made us both the happiest was the simplest thing: standing side by side in a kitchen, serving others. It's all we've ever known. Service fills the bucket.

Happy Callie Day. Five years down, and so many more ahead. Love you all @travisswikard @miasimone @callierestaurant @christopheralannye @spoonandstable @demi.mpls @bellecourbakeryandbistro @bellecourbakeryandcafe @marabygk @themerchantroomnaples @fleurettesd
