Woon Presents Special Delivery for Christian Maalouf

Woon Productions presents the third episode in our series titled, Special Delivery, documenting the interesting subjects from our Woon community who contribute to make Woon what it is today.

In this episode, we spend some time with our Line Cook and professional skateboarder, Christian Maalouf. We visit Christian and his wife, Amber, at their home in Los Angeles where he introduces us to his cats, action figure collection, and Amber’s photo studio. We also follow him around a few skate spots in LA and chat about how food and skating come together.

Christian has been a cook at Woon since before we opened over 3 years ago and he has been a professional skateboarder for much longer. I was a fan of Christian’s skating long before Woon was in my sights and it’s full circle that he is a part of our family now. All thanks goes to his wife and photographer, Amber, who connected us when I was first looking for cooks. Christian has always been an avid home cook so it was natural for him to work in a kitchen. Fast forward to today and Christian is now a renaissance man who works at Woon, is Team Manager for Brixton, and skates professionally for Brixton, Globe and WKND Skateboards to name a few. It’s truly an honor to have someone I looked up to long ago and now be able to call him a friend Woon family. I hope you enjoy!

Sanditas Pop Up Photos

People working in a restaurant kitchen

Sometimes there’s moments where you just know the evening is going to be crazy, but fun. The Sanditas Pop Up was one of those…we had so much fun hosting Sandy Ho and her Sanditas team in our kitchen last week. It was probably the busiest and craziest pop up we’ve hosted thus far, but things went smooth and we had fun doing it. Big thanks to Pinkie’s Up for providing the great wine, Ambruso Flowers for providing us with beautiful flowers, and Tiffany Chung for capturing these moments.
