Charles Phan, executive chef of The Slanted Door in San Francisco, will be guest chef at a Halekulani special event April 2 that includes a cooking demonstration and a grazing reception with signature dishes from his restaurant.

Phan, who moved to San Francisco in 1977, was raised in a family where good, fresh food was paramount. Although he studied architecture, he continued to be fascinated by cooking and to work in the restaurant industry. Today, his restaurant, with its ingredient-driven menu, is considered to be on the cutting edge. "An Evening with Charles Phan" is $75 per person. Tickets: 931-5040.
