We are thrilled to report that the Twisted Texan dinner was a huge success! On a warm, but pleasant, day with a great crowd and an amazing location we toasted all things Texan last night. A very gracious thank you to Kickstand Espresso Bar whose staff and space made for a memorable evening. Steven Leonard serenaded the crowd with his amazing voice and we were all more than happy to sing along to his unique and inspiring songs. We got to dip deep into our roots and childhoods for this one, and in doing so we evoked some of our fondest memories and flavors. As always, we twisted it up with Mexican and Chinese ingredients, and the results were delicious. A big thank you to our regulars and as always it was a great time welcoming in strangers and seeing new found friendships by the end of the evening!
