The GOODS from Two Chefs And A Table

Vancouver, BC | Mexican food and drink is a passion of both Allan Bosomworth and Karl Gregg of Two Chefs and a Table and so, each Cinco de Mayo, they take a break from classic French bistro and North American comfort food dining to offer a multi-course meal of regional Mexican dishes paired with Mexican cocktails, beer and wine. It’s not only one of their favourite days at the bistro, it’s also become an annual sell out. Details and menu after the jump…

With a culinary tradition as deep and diverse as Mexico’s, there’s always fresh inspiration for this meal and again this year, the five-course menu features brand new creations with nothing repeated from past events. This year’s menu has roots in Michoacán, Oaxaca, Sinaloa and Puebla combining authentic Mexican specialties like Masa Harina and Pasilla Chiles with the fresh local ingredients which are part of the Two Chefs and a Table approach. Each course will be served with a paired drink, ranging from house favourite Tecate Beer to a Nouveaux Carré, an Anejo Tequila-based spin on the classic Vieux Carré.

This dinner will be served both Friday and Saturday night, May 4-5 and costs $75 per person (tax and tip not included). This is always a popular dinner and reservations are strongly recommended by calling 778-233-1303 or by emailing [email protected].

This year Two Chefs and a Table will also be extending their love of all things Mexican will be extending to include offering cooking classes in Mazatlan later this year. They’ll be working alongside Chef Alistair Porteous, owner of the rave-reviewed Water’s Edge Seaside Bistro.
