Gaijin is thrilled to continue its Chef Collaboration Series in 2025, beginning with Chef Hisanobu Osaka of Miru on February 20th! Okonomiyaki means "have it your way, griddled", and Gaijin is always thrilled to customize the dish for each and every one of its guests. One Thursday each month, to show just how versatile the dish can be, Gaijin is teaming up with a series of award-winning Chicago chefs to showcase Osaka-style okonomiyaki THEIR way. Each chef will be in house for one night only, sharing their dish. The Chef Collab Series line-up includes:

- 2/20: Chef Hisanobu Osaka - Miru (reservations here)

- 3/20: Chef Brian Jupiter - Frontier and Ina Mae Tavern & Packaged Goods (reservations here)

- 4/17: Chef Christian Hunter, Atelier

- 5/15: Won Kim, KIMSKI

Chefs will be in-house on the night of the collaboration from 6-8pm. Their special okonomiyaki will be available for a few days following the event while supplies last. For more information and to book reservations, please visit https://gaijinchicago.com/.
