Last week we hosted another fantastic dinner celebrating the life and times of Selena! The popular tejano singer from mikey's hometown of Corpus Christi, Texas!

uno. 

We kicked the dinner of with 'the yellow rose of Texas' an amazing concoction of Tequila and Mescal, with pineapple, sweet lime and a dusting of Chinese five spice. Along side we passed 'meaty-meaty bom- boms' chorizo and pork meatballs with ginger & water chestnut in a Chili mulatto and hoisin sauce.

The dinner then moved on with a deconstructed beet salad, the 'Pinche yolanda! I'm gonna beet you!' this was red and yellow beets & jicama in a tongue numbing Sichuan vinaigrette with three puddings; orange yellow beet, honey red beet, and goat cheese, and for another floral-spicy kick the dish was finished with lavender salt.

'No me queda masa' was our take on sopes, corn masa cakes crisped up in lard over cast iron, spread with an edamame puree and topped of with a shaved fennel and cabbage slaw in a guajillo sauce with Chinese sausage, mandarin orange supremes and cotija cheese.

'Selena y los vinos' was the entree course featuring red wine, cinnamon, and anise braised beef shanks, mashed sweet potato with scallion, and braised collard greens with salt pork and pickled onions.

'Como la flor' was the dessert, an elegant terrine of coconut panna cotta and hibiscus gelee. The terrine was finished with four contrasting components, crushed pistachio, blackberry, mango-coconut salsa with black pepper, and candied celery leaf with fennel frond. 

As if this were not enough we were proud to host Ms. Cee-cee Larouge and her vocal stylings to really round of the evening! Her performances definitely got the crowd going and was a sweet ending to another beautiful event!
