Our journey begins on Eat Live Love San Fernando Valley with a warm welcome from Chef Flores, the culinary genius behind CF Food Kitchen. Chef Flores shares the serendipitous story of how this culinary haven came into existence. Originally in search of a catering kitchen, he stumbled upon this spacious kitchen, and it was love at first sight. Fourteen years later, CF Food Kitchen continues to thrive, serving delectable dishes that have captured the hearts of the community.
As we delve into the menu, Chef Flores reveals the inspiration behind it. Drawing from his extensive experience working in various hotels and restaurants along the East Coast, including Washington, D.C., Virginia, and Maryland, he has curated a menu that can be described as continental or even eclectic. One of the standout dishes at CF Food Kitchen is the Cajun-inspired Alligator. This unique dish features Louisiana gator nuggets served with a creamy corn maque choux sauce, filled with onions, peppers, and Andouille sausage. It’s a mouthwatering combination that showcases Chef Flores’ dedication to delivering authentic flavors with a touch of creativity.
CF Food Kitchen has also gained notoriety for its Beef Wellington. This iconic dish has evolved over time, with Chef Flores adding his personal touch. Individual servings are now prepared, each adorned with a delightful decorative flourish. The secret to their Beef Wellington’s perfection lies in the duxelles, a wild mushroom puree infused with shallots, wine, and butter, enhancing the flavors of the tender meat. As we experience the Beef Wellington, it becomes evident why CF Food Kitchen is celebrated for this dish. Cooked to a perfect medium-rare, it’s a divine experience, akin to cutting through butter with a steak knife. The delicate balance of flavors and textures makes it a must-try for any fine dining enthusiast.
CF Food Kitchen offers an intimate dining experience that’s truly unparalleled in the North San Fernando Valley from Chef Flores and his wife Sylvia who brings a warm and friendly vibe to the restaurant. Nestled in a strip mall on the corner of Woodley and Devonshire Street, this unassuming location belies the culinary excellence within.
