2 De Mayo Dinner at Brant House Featuring Chef Steve Gonzalez
We all know about Cinco de Mayo, but, have you heard of Dos de Mayo? Uniq Lifestyle Entertainment Group got the fiesta started early with a 2 De Mayo event featuring Celebrity Chef Steve Gonzalez at Brant House. At only $50 plus tax and gratuity, for a 4 course meal and a special cocktail, it was one of the best deals around.
The meal began with a photo-op involving the most colourful sombrero’s I have seen. Now tell me, can I rock a sombrero or what?
The mean began with a delicious Amuse consisting of Arepa with Lobster Guacamole. Fresh, tasty, and the perfect way to kick off the meal.
Then came the Fish. Tuna Ceviche with Passion fruit, Wakame, and Jalapeno.
Next came the meat. No Mexican meal is complete without a great meat dish. Chef Gonzalez delivered with a perfectly Roasted Adobo Pork Shoulder with Rice and beans, Plantain, and Egg.
To cleanse the palate, Agua Fresca followed. Watermelon and Tamarind. I would never have thought of mixing the two, but, it worked perfectly. Simple and refreshing.
To finish, the Dulce. Tres Leches Rice Pudding with Banana, Anglaise, Mango. While I am not a big fan of rice pudding, I have to admit this was delicious and I devoured it all.
4 courses, one margarita, and a full tummy later, we were dos happy amigos on Dos de Mayo.
We are so excited to attend Uniq Lifestyle’s next event on Thursday, May 16, featuring one of our favourite Chefs, Bob Blumer. Chef Blumer is the author of six cookbooks and the host of Glutton for Punishment. A larger than life personality, and a Canuck to boot, this is an event that is not to be missed.
