About this episode
Up+Adam March 10, 2026 Sponsored by PortabidetChef 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.• Learn more about Chef Dominique Benavidez• Reserve tickets for Domingo Brunch• Follow along for upcoming pop-ups, private dinners, and eventsWebsitehttps://dombenavidez.com/Domingo Brunch Ticketshttps://dombenavidez.com/eventsInstagramhttps://www.instagram.com/chef.benavidez/*********PORTABIDET: UP+ADAM IS AN OFFICIAL SPOKESPERSON FOR PORTABIDET - USE THIS LINK FOR UP+ADAM LISTENERS TO LEARN MORE AND GET YOURS!*
