We are quite excited about this dinner party. Chef Saul Schwartz will present his 4 course menu first, followed by the 4 course offering from Chef Efrain Cuevas and the Clandestino crew. It's a creole affair and you are invited to be the dinner guest and the judge. Taste each dish and rate each one on taste, appearance, and cajun factor.
