Átame Summer Series

I’m so excited to have you join me on July 22nd to share in this 8-course tasting menu. I want everyone to feel at home during this meal–to think of it as if you were going to a friend’s or loved one’s house for dinner. Everyone is welcome here. One of the most beautiful aspects of my culture is our hospitality, and how quickly we open our doors to feed a stranger. Mi casa es tu casa. The menu will center products from local farmers across Indiana with a fine dining twist, yet is inspired by all of the meals I grew up eating in Cuba. The story of Cuban food has not yet been fully told: its history has been hidden and suppressed, just like the island itself. One of my goals as a chef is to pull back that curtain, to reveal the true complexity and poetry of Cuban cuisine, which is made up of a melting pot of cultures and people. I thank you so much for joining me as I try to reimagine Cuban food’s past–and how it might continue to evolve.
