Up+Adam March 10, 2026 Sponsored by Portabidet

Chef Dominique Benavidez joins Adam for one of the most honest and revealing conversations we’ve had on Up+Adam. What begins as a conversation about food quickly becomes something deeper. Dominique shares the story behind her culinary journey. From leaving school at a young age to care for her father, to navigating loss, addiction, and ultimately finding healing and purpose through cooking. It’s a powerful reminder that the people creating the meals we love often carry stories far beyond the plate.

She’s now bringing that philosophy to a special Domingo Mexican-inspired brunch pop-up happening in downtown San Luis Obispo. Guests can expect a three-course experience with two menu options, fresh juices, and a relaxed Sunday morning vibe. Seating is limited, making it an intimate way to experience Chef Dominique’s cooking and the story behind it.
