The Slanted Door’s Charles Phan guest-chefs at Manhattan Beach Post

Special guest chef Charles Phan, owner of lauded Vietnamese restaurant the Slanted Door in San Francisco and author of “Vietnamese Home Cooking,” will cook with David LeFevre at Manhattan Beach Post on Monday. It’s part of the “Friends & Farmers: Can You Dig It?” series at LeFevre’s Manhattan Beach restaurant, which will feature agricultural collective Coastal Organics.

He and LeFevre both will contribute to the four-course menu. For the first course, Phan’s California hamachi, shallot-lime mignonette, Thai basil and crispy shallots; then his wood-fired clams served in a clay pot with Thai basil and cherry tomatoes, and LeFevre’s gingered shrimp dumplings with Japanese eggplant, orange and ram rau; for the third course, crispy fragrant duck with watercress, as well as confit pork and spring onion strewn wild rice with sweet corn and padron peppers from LeFevre. Dessert from Phan is still up in the air, and LeFevre’s sweet course will be Thai tea panna cotta with lychee, puffed forbidden rice and white chocolate. These are subject to change.

The event will benefit the organization Common Threads, whose mission is to teach children about nutrition and to foster an appreciation of cultural diversity through cooking.

The four-course menu costs $75 per person. Reservations are recommended and are available for 5:30 p.m. and 8 p.m. seatings; call (310) 545-5405.
