Bar tasting menu is going to be vastly different come summer. The sous’ are going to use it as their culinary playground. Should be cool!

Holbox dinner slapped.

Will post pics later but the finale of a dessert tamal with corn custard, brown butter, and a tin of @Clayfu 's eggs was a total banger. (Everything else was also great)

one of the strongest meals I’ve had at kato so far. so many nostalgic flavors, hot pot, shrimp toast, clams and basil… lamb was the best meat course I’ve had at kato, @562 commented it gave him feng mao vibes. a bowl of piping hot rice with some of the courses would have been perfect.

review forthcoming @Clayfu @rlw @562 #noftcwilliam?
