Many thanks to Chef Bernstein, and all of the rest of her crew including chefs Berenice de Araujo (of Sra. Martinez, who co-planned the menu with Michelle), Jason Schaan (of Michy's), and Vanessa Paz, the dessert maven for Michy's and Sra. M, sommelier Allegra Angelo for curating some wonderful wine pairings, and Jorge Anaya-Lopez for helping put this together and making it happen so successfully. But as always, thanks most of all to the guinea pigs whose support makes these events possible.
