YO SOY "FRENCH FLIPPED" IS RIGHT AROUND LA ESQUINA

It is almost here! Our tribute meal to the festivities of Cinco de Mayo! We are so proud to be partnered with some amazing people for this event. The space at Chicago Urban Art Society (CUAS) is a spectacular setting for the plans we have for the evening. It is our first time hosting a Pop Up at this location, and are we are filled to the brim with excitement over the opportunity to showcase our culinary talent at CUAS. For the menu, we have planned a Mexican-French four course meal with drink pairings to compliment each course. The Mexican - French idea has spawned from the original date of May 5, 1862 when the Mexican army in the state of Puebla, Mexico defeated the French army who was considered the "World's most superior military" at that time. After revisiting that point in history, we decided the menu should have a unique play on this event, and these two countries and some of their staple dishes. As for the drink pairings, the fantastic folks over at Indio beer are graciously supplying our diners with their signature beer that has been brewed and sold in Mexico since 1893, and only released to the US market in the past 10 months! We have created some crafty cocktails out of the beer and cannot wait to have our guests enjoy them! And of course, what meal is not complete without some dramatics! The non-edible entertainment will feature performances by the Mexican Dance Ensemble. The Mexican Dance Ensemble is known for their extremely talented dancers and for their commitment to serve as a liaison of Mexican folk dance arts. We could not think of a better, more unique way to celebrate Cinco de Mayo this year! We do have limited amount of seats left and would love to see you at this event, so do not wait too long to grab your seat!
