[News Boquete] Ngadri Restaurant and Chris Young

Subject: A Culinary Journey You Don't Want to Miss: Chef Chris + Top Chef Star Alexander Rojas

Body:

Hey friends,

This September, I'm stepping out of my kitchen and into something truly special. I'll be spending the entire month learning from Chef Alexander Rojas—the genius behind Ngädri Restaurant (which means "roots," a nod to the deep traditions of Panamanian and Ngäbe culture).

Alexander isn't just another chef. He's a Top Chef TV star, a Michelin-trained master who spent years cooking in France, and a true artist who has taken the flavors of Panama and elevated them into something unforgettable.

For me, after 25 years as a professional chef, this is like going back to culinary school… but with one of the best chefs in Chiriquí as my mentor. Call it a culinary residency—a chance to sharpen my skills, explore the roots of Panamanian cuisine, and share this journey with you.

Here's what's coming up at Ngädri this month:

🌿 Cooking Classes:
• Dates: Sept 17th & Sept 30th
• Cost: $25 per person
• Includes: A late lunch, endless sangria, and hands-on lessons in local dishes—including how to buy the freshest fish right off a truck.
📲 Reserve now: +507 6872-3759

🔥 Special Collaboration Dinners:
• Dates: Sept 12th & Sept 26th
These exclusive dinners will showcase what I've learned under Alexander's guidance. Expect bold flavors, cultural depth, and a dining experience you won't forget.

📍 Where: Ngädri Restaurant, Isla Verde Hotel Complex (on the way to Valle Escondido)
🕒 Hours: Wed–Sun, 12–3 PM & 5–10 PM
📲 Call or WhatsApp: +507 6872-3759

Come support an incredible chef who is putting Panama's culinary traditions on the map—and follow along as I dive deep into the history, flavors, and techniques that make this country so special.

Let's show Chef Alexander the love he deserves and pack Ngädri this September!
Follow the journey on Facebook and Instagram.

See you at the table,
Chef Chris Young
