So, 4 days from now, we are going to have our monthly Yo Soy dinner, and we are stoked!! We have a full table of 12, and there is going to be some great conversation, as well as food all over it! Our great friend radhika is going to be there with nick! she is kinda shy about critiquing our food, so we enjoy having her over...haha, just joking, she will give it to us good!

Another guest at the party is patrick powers from pns explosion podcast. We love having locals over, and we also love the challenge of having to create a menu for people with dietary restrictions! ( well, let's not get carried away with that last statement, brian is going to kill me for saying that!). He has a penchant for naming smaller episodes of his podcasts amuse-bouches, and i was immediately moved to have to get him to one of our dinners! i think he knows it means amusement for your mouth, but their podcast is an amusement for my ears! i look forward to talking about 80's movies and food with him! 

And speaking of amusement for ears, Stephen Leonard is going to be dining with us as well! I love this guy! his voice is a-m-a-z-i-n-g! I first heard him at a prop.8 rally here in chicago, and was so moved. Since then I have seen him perform at Wild Pug, and recently i heard he did a show at Schuba's, and he also has some music on itunes! He is going places, people, but first he has to dine with us! We are also excited that he will be able to perform for us after dinner! Just picture it, wine, full bellies, and a strumming guitar with an angelic voice floating around the room, umm-umm, the neon green room, that is. you will see what i mean when the pictures are posted!

The table is also going to include 2 other executive chefs and also someone interested in possibly hosting their own "underground" dining event! so, all in all we are squirming around with so many food ideas, just wanting to cook everything that comes into our noggins, but we have narrowed it down to a meal that could fit 4 courses! so look forward to pumpkin, butternut squash, cinnamon, turkey, sweet potato, bread pudding, and did i forget to mention wine? 

And for those that could not make this dinner, be on the lookout for a possible impromptu dinner that we are known for doing during these cold months! 

xxoxo,

mikey + brian
