quince de mayo ! an extended celebration of cinco de mayo!

tomorrow is the day! 

we are busy hombres in the kitchen today! we have just come from the green city market, and it was freezing outside!!! we were picking out mushrooms, leeks, and vegetables with frozen fingers! however, our hearts were warm thinking of the dinner that we have planned for everyone. 

we are doing some great recipes from puebla cuisine, which is the celebrated region of mexico during cinco de mayo, with some "yo soy" tweaks to them!  so be prepared for rhubarb strawberry mezcal cocktails, mushroom + farm fresh vegetable quesadillas, semitas a cara abierto! er, roughly translated from my spanglish means "open faced mexican sandwich". also, are doing a play on chiles en nogada, by turning all the ingredients into an awesome soup with layers of flavor! the main dish is of course, mole poblano with some unique additions and nice chinese touches throughout! the dessert is an ingredient that we got carried away with in the mole, chocolate! so look forward to a chocolate and coconut combination that will be sure to make puebla proud and your stomach happy!

being b.y.o.b. and wine lovers ,we have flagged our ingredients with kafka wine at 3325 North Halsted Street, which is very close to our dinner location, so that they may help you with your choices to bring to dinner! they have over 250 wines under $15! wow!!! say hi to alex, mike and joe for us!

oh, and did we mention, we have 4 seats that have opened up! first come, first serve! grab them while you can!

 SOLD OUT, AGAIN. sorry for those who just saw this, there was a small window of opportunity for these seats, that are now gone. 


 

see you all tomorrow, and for those who cannot be here, we will post pictures to live vicariously through soon!
