Alaska Airlines takes First Class menu to new heights
Alaska Airlines is set to redefine its First Class dining experience with the launch of an exciting chef collaboration with Brandon Jew, acclaimed chef and owner of San Francisco’s Michelin-starred Mister Jiu’s restaurant, will bring an exclusive menu to First Class guests on flights between San Francisco International Airport (SFO) and New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK). Chef Jew recently maintained a Michelin-star for his restaurant, located in the heart of San Francisco’s Chinatown, for a seventh year in a row.

As the executive chef and owner of contemporary Chinese American restaurant Mister Jiu’s and Mamahuhu, Chef Jew combines local, seasonal and organic bounty of the San Francisco Bay Area with classic Chinese techniques and flavors. The First Class menu features 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.
