we had an amazing dinner last night that was accented with some great guests and special moments throughout the evening! we met some great people, and noticed a lot of friend requests around facebook this morning from last night's guests! we live for these bonds that are formed over our yo soy dinners and that continue to bud! so let's give the dish on last nights dishes! the welcome cocktail we had for our diners was a mi"china"lada! micheladas are a traditional mexican beverage of choice on sundays. our yo soy recipe was tomato juice + tabasco + lime + soy sauce + tsing tao beer + white pepper! it was delicious, and it was paired with vegetable potstickers that had a papaya+ chili dipping sauce. we then moved inside for dinner (the chicago september "iffy" weather forced it, trust me, i wanted to be outside) where we had the following menu ready to go!:

• mexico libre salad : chinese long beans + daikon + beets + schezuan peppercorn viniagrette
• mole bao : mexican mole + chinese buns + carrott star anise puree
• triple "p" stew : pozole + potstickers + puerco + cabbage +radish + onions
• full moon cheesecake : calabaza + cheesecake + squash blossom wrapped chinese pear

we closed out the evening with the talented kyle greer and vallery dolls! they were an added dessert course for our diners and we could not get enough! we were belting musicals, cover songs and laughing and enjoying some originals that they have come up with! a-m-a-z-i-n-g talent! if you have a chance to catch up with them, do it! learn more about kyle and vallery here! kylegreerocks.com + vallery dolls 

side note: kyle has a show on october.7th at ace bar in chicago!

the meal was extraordinary and truly celebrated mexican independence day as well as the chinese full moon festival. each course utilized the dishes that are celebrated in both culutes during these festivals , as well as with keeping with what's fresh and in season!

we are busy planning our yo soy october supper, as well as our huge event that is coming up in november! we have paired up with the national museum of mexican art for their annual del corazon festival! we are so proud to be a part of this celebration and we are stoked to release the details soon, as well as start offering the seats for this monumental yo soy dinner!
