About
Chef Stacy Bareng takes people on a culinary exploration through extraordinary cuisine. Hailing from a Filipino immigrant family, Bareng's passion for food was ignited by helping her grandma and mother grow organic vegetables, raise livestock, and cook authentic farm-to-table Filipino cuisine.
After graduating from Le Cordon Bleu with a specialization in French, Italian, and Mediterranean cuisine, Bareng worked her way up in hotel kitchens honing her skills. At ever-popular The Tasting Kitchen, she worked directly with James Beard-nominated Casey Lane as a sous chef, mastering whole animal butchery and pasta making while learning to channel her creative process. After pursuing side projects, Bareng became chef de cuisine for Viale dei Romani, a coastal Italian restaurant named "one of the biggest openings of 2018" nationally by Food & Wine Magazine while under her supervision. She then returned to San Luis Obispo as executive chef at Cass House Grill, a true farm-to-table restaurant under consultant/mentor, Julie Simon. Needing a return to Los Angeles, Bareng worked along two-Michelin-starred chef Josiah Citrin to relaunch Melisse before the pandemic started. Bareng enjoys applying all her technique and experience to the cuisine of her childhood, so expect Filipino comfort food such as lumpias, pancit, and adobo with a Californian-Angeleno flair.

Beef Swiss Burger
There were only three fries and the burger itself was very tough and clearly not just beef. When I took my first bite I had to check the packaging to make sure I didn't order fake meat. Texture and taste are just wrong - really gross, do not order

Thai Panang Chicken Curry
The dish was unremarkable. Curry had heat but no real flavor and was a watery, thin sauce. The chicken was nice and tender.

Asian Wrap with Hoisin Braised Beef
Disappointed. I must’ve got the end left overs bc there was tablespoon of meat, all carrots considering lack of filling, all spinach wrap. Cut in half. 4 bites in one side then threw out bc all wrap.

Beef Swiss Burger
Would rate zero stars if I could. The texture of the burger was so tough I couldn’t even chew it.

Beef Swiss Burger
I’ll start by saying this had good flavor. The issue I had was the texture and size of the burger. It was more like a meatball texture and quite round in shape, the sweet potato fries were not there.

Vegetable Thai Green Curry
Really good green curry flavor but hardly any sauce left to enjoy with the rice. This dish came up short for me as I expected more in the way of vegetables for the $13 price.

Asian Wrap with Hoisin Braised Beef
Rubbery spinach wrap.

Ultimate Holiday Turkey Dinner
Sweet potatoes should be swapped with a different lower carb veggie. Also they were hard/undercooked in this meal.
