Gourmet Latino Festival (coming soon)
Get ready for the first ever Gourmet Latino Festival, which will hit restaurants and the Astor Center in June. As they transform the Astor Center in to “a corner of Latin America,” the three Latina women behind the festival; Karen Uribe, Claudia Castro, and Mariana Suarez are giddy. They have been planning and scheduling this event for two years, and, with the help of Centrico chef Aaron Sanchez and beverage expert Steve Olson, they are ready to go.
“We want to bring out the nuances throughout the different Latin cultures,” said Uribe last night during the festival preview. “We really want to make it a cultural thing, not just about the food.”
