Our Story
We were born out of a love for not following rules and creating something with traditional roots, but with a modern expression.
Alter is a culinary fusion of Jewish and Mexican-inspired flavors. Our idea was born out of love and passion for sharing food.
Our founder, Jeremy Everakes is delighted to cook for you and your loved ones via boutique in-home dinner parties between 8-12 people. The private dining experience is designed to share a meal with friends and family. This includes an exciting 5-course meal where Jeremy will share with you his vision behind his dishes and how they came to be.
Growing up in Los Angeles, having rolled his first matzo ball at the age of 5, his passion for cooking grew from there. Jeremy’s grandmother had many family members that settled in Mexico and shared with him all about their Jewish culture in Mexico City, including the food. From there, his idea for a Jewish and Mexican-inspired culinary experience was created.
We wanted something with a rebellious attitude. While still providing a high-end sophisticated service that tells the story of our rich history. To us, Alter represents; family, new traditions and legacy. Combining Jewish food traditions and Mexican flavors, Alter is the intersection of two cuisines, delivering you culinary excellence.

Alter stems from the word 'alternative', and suggests exactly that -- an alternative way of doing things.
