Roger Featured in Punch Magazine.
Roger's Chef Chad is the star of a feature in Punch Magazine's Summer 2026 issue, spotlighting his California cuisine with Mediterranean influences and his knack for building bold, layered flavor into every dish. The piece dives into Roger's most immersive dining experiences — NASA Dining and 7 Paintings — where each course draws inspiration from a different painter, brought to life with tableside projections narrated by the Mona Lisa. Highlights include a Jackson Pollock-inspired course where guests paint with vegetable purées before turning their edible artwork into salad dressing, and a Banksy-inspired course where diners spray an edible canvas to reveal Girl with Balloon rendered in beef carpaccio underneath.
As Chad puts it: "Ameswell is one of one. It has its own energy. It's very playful. It's very 'can do' and it wants to be fun."
