When I saw him in January at his restaurants & , Chef .oliva.rico expressed an interest in coming back to upstate NY to do a dinner. First introduced to the area when I asked him to participate in the in Saratoga Springs, NY, he took inspiration from that to open Aleli Rooftop in Mexico City with that concept. Since then, his restaurants have received considerable acclaim with Lorea coming in at #45 in the recently revealed restaurants in North America!

I was thrilled that Chef wanted to return to do a dinner for but I needed the right place and the right time to make it happen.

Once I stayed in Tannersville, NY, in the heart of , I knew I found the place. When they were just excited about it as I was, I was certain. When I told Oswaldo about the place, he too was excited. Come join us for one night only (2 seatings), Wednesday, September 27th to experience Mexico in the Catskills with Chef Oswaldo Oliva, working with Chef Corwin Kave ( ) for what promises to be an extraordinarily delicious, fun and unique evening.

Price is inclusive of food, beverages, tax, fees and service for the dinner. Link for tickets - https://www.eventbrite.com/e/mexico-city-star-chef-oswaldo-oliva-tickets-694266157767
