About Adrian Hernandez:
Pursuing a career in the footsteps of his father, Adrian at a very young age started as a porter at The French Laundry. Eventually Corey Lee caught on that he was interested in moving into the kitchen and over 6 years worked alongside him, honing not only skills but attributes such as discipline and attention to detail. To do things right the first time is something that was drilled into him.
Eventually Adrian came to the UK and worked at Restaurants Such as Chiltern Firehouse, Luca , Smokestak and now is Senior Sous Chef at 1 Star Michelin Humo in Mayfair. Growing up in a Venezuelan household, Adrian was oblivious to the culture and it wasn't until he made a trip to Venezuela at the age of 19, that he spent 6 months that he learnt what it meant to be Venezuelan - the culture, the people, and most importantly the food. Ever since then, he has tried to incorporate and demonstrate his roots in combination with the culinary journey he has taken.
The menus share a collaborative story of AYO's Angelo Gonzalez and a guest chef, showcasing the diversity and richness of Colombian and Venezualan cuisine, featuring staple flavours and dishes such as frijoles and arepas with a modern and progressive twist that reflects the chef's culinary philosophy. Each dish is a fusion of flavours and techniques that highlight the cultural heritage of the chefs, Angelo Gonzalez and Adrian Hernandez who collaboratively create a unique tasting menu that promises to delight and surprise diners.
We are proud to announce the wine pairings will be provided by Justerini & Brooks. Justerini & Brooks, established in 1749, is well-known for being one of the largest importers of fine wines from the top estates of Germany, Burgundy and Barolo and now has exclusivity for Diageo’s rare whisky portfolio, including the Port Ellen and Brora distilleries. The wine pairings will explore their collection that's dedicated to unearthing and championing young, new talent as well as offering its customers an extensive range of immediate drinking wines.
