Guest Chef Night at Esters – Daniel Cutler

The weather is finally starting to warm up and the tent is off the patio, so there’s no better way for Esters Wine Shop & Bar to celebrate than with a whole lineup of talented chefs for the next Guest Chef Burger Night Series. Every month since September 2017, “the little kitchen that could” has welcomed a slew of celebrated, local talent to make their favorite burger for just one night. The summer iteration is the last of 2019 as the popular series takes a little break for the fall and winter holidays, but it will kick off again in Winter 2020.

Guest Chef Burger Nights begin at 6:00 p.m., until burgers sell out, so grab a seat early during 4-6 p.m. Happy Hour. All burgers come with a side and are priced at $18, with an optional beer or wine pairing. Esters is walk-in only, so reservations are not taken.

Since opening Ronan along Melrose in fall 2018, chef Daniel Cutler and his wife Caitlin’s neighborhood spot has been garnering critical acclaim for its Neapolitan pizzas and seasonal share plates. The team considers them part of the Rustic Canyon Family, as Daniel helped open Milo & Olive and Caitlin was a pastry prep cook at Huckleberry Bakery & Café before they went on to hone their respective culinary and management chops at Sotto and Alimento. Daniel is whipping up a decadent, Duck Pastrami Burger topped with Swiss cheese and duck confit for his night.
