@i8NYC presents: EUPHORIA 🍽️😋 [MAX 6PPL]

We are heading to Brooklyn! A Rare Weekend Event! Glenn and I LEFT STUFFED at their last Mythily event! Where else can you eat Inside the Kitchen? Join us at Thea, 4 doors down from Theodora for an immersive evening for a one-night reunion of Maialino alums cooking together once again: Lena Ciardullo, Jean-Paul Bourgeois, Joe Tarasco, Jonah Miller, Chris McDade, and Tomer Blechman. For those unaware, Lena is now the Executive Chef @ Union Sq Cafe. Read about how Chef Tomer admires her work

Theodora’s Cooking is on ANOTHER LEVEL and it’s only a matter of time before they get their well deserved Michelin Star ⭐️. Their DRY AGED FISH Program is TOP NOTCH! I’ve attended events where they don’t even cook Middle Eastern food and STILL KILL IT! See the IG REEL below from their First Summer Sunday Event.

This standing-room-only event unfolds throughout the entire Thea space — including the kitchen — with a flowing menu of small plates served in waves all night long. Each course will be available for a portion of the event so we recommend coming at 4 pm to enjoy everything on the menu! Mezcal, natural wine and cocktails will be available for a la carte purchasing as well. Limited seating will be available, and the event is not weather dependent. Please be ON TIME! 😊

We are heading to Chelsea! Opens 8/9! One of my fave chefs ever! Met him @ 2024 SOBEWFF Los Fuegos Event. Who knows, we may get a cameo of Chef Francis Mallmann aka King of Open Fire Cooking! Infamous for his Red John Lennon glasses and El Domo Del Amor!!! Internationally renowned South American chef Francis Mallmann known for his live-fire cooking and his appearance in Netflix’s Chef’s Table (Season 1), Details are still scarce about the restaurant — it’s fair to expect Mallmann’s live-fire cooking approaches. The name stems from a neighborhood in Buenos Aires. The hotel’s other dining and drinking spots will include the cocktail lounge, the Living Room, the speakeasy El Secreto, and the wine cellar La Cava.

It is not Mallmann’s first time working with the hotel, running Los Fuegos By Francis Mallmann inside the Faena in Miami.

Note: The dress code for La Boca is Elegant Chic.

Please be ON TIME! 😊

We are heading to Brooklyn! Redux bc IYKYK! We loved the Khanom Jeen AYCE @ Na Rath so let's do it again! Laab Bar is back after the wild success of our Midnight Fried Chicken Night — this time, it’s all about curry and noodles. Join us for a one-night-only Chiang Mai-style noodle night: fermented rice noodles topped with your choice of bold, house-made Thai curry, plus all the classic toppings. Happy Hour all night – beer, wine, saké

Kru is Thai for “guru” or “mentor” and honors the many teachers and books that have enriched our profound culinary understanding and vision. When the chef-owner behind Fish Cheeks delves into what Thailand’s royalty and aristocracy feasted on, you pay attention. And such is the case with Kru, which will surprise you with its treasure trove of old Thai recipes you’d be hard-pressed to find anywhere else in New York. A DIFFERENT KIND OF THAI | Modern interpretation of 100-year-old Thai recipes, serving history through a contemporary lens. PLEASE BE ON TIME!!! 😊
