This time around, the five-course dinner paired with beverages five-course dinner paired with beverages will travel across your tongue with El Tour de Tastebuds.

“Salty is very easy with pork so I knew I had to be extremely creative and out of the box,” said Izaak Morhaim, executive chef at Jackson Bar + Eatery. “Luckily my team, Wendy and Sarah are amazing it came naturally to us.”

“We wanted to complement the sweetness of the pork with local sour apples and in-season vegetables,” said David Solorzano, executive chef at Cielos at Lodge on the Desert. “We will showcase how lesser-known cuts like neck can be both affordable and tasty with familiar flavors and textures.”
