experiment #11 - Cobakayapaz with Chefs Richard Hales, Vanessa Paz


Another experiment concluded: many thanks to Chef Richard Hales of Sakaya Kitchen, who brought his new truck out to Villa 221 to prepare a great dinner; to Pastry Chef Vanessa Paz ("borrowed" from Michy's for the night) for too many desserts to count; and to Villa 221 for providing a really gorgeous venue for the evening.

Below is the menu for the evening. You can see pictures in this flickr set: "Cobakayapaz," and a recap here at Food For Thought. Most of all, and as always, thanks to the guinea pigs who support these events.
