At Flavor Trips, every dish has a passport, every recipe a story. What began as one father’s culinary journal has grown into a three-chef expedition across cultures, memories, and spices.

Marcus Holt – Founder & Flavor Cartographer
Born in Charleston, raised on global spices mailed by his sea-captain father, Marcus stirs up stories and masalas from his Seattle kitchen with four curious kids always nearby. His Wayfinder Table supper series invites guests to taste the world one bite at a time.

Adamo Mancini – The Sardinian Whisperer
From a stone house in San Lorenzo, Sardinia, Adamo brings ancestral warmth and a quiet mastery of time, fire, and fermentation. His food speaks of the land and the hands that shaped it, with flavors that linger like folk songs.

David C. Kling – Spice Hunter & Culinary Anthropologist
Straight out of Austin, David sees food as both flame and fieldwork. Whether he's fermenting peaches or foraging wild epazote, his dishes distill cultures into moments of wonder.
What started as a fig debate in Rome, a fiery pop-up in Austin, and three chefs with wildly different roots became Flavor Trips: a global supper table where stories, spices, and souls meet.
