StarChefs Congress Day III
The StarChefs Congress closed out this year with a festive celebration entitled Bad Hombres y Mujeres. Which was a really incredible array of some bad ass chefs cooking some of my favorite food in the world- tacos! Luis Acre Mota & Rigo Cervantes from LES spot La Contenta were grilling up some delicious octopus tacos alongside a gorgeous and refreshing hibiscus cocktail. Top Chefs contender Katsuji Tanabe from Mexikosher on the Upper East Side was doling out some creamy Corn Esquites layered with cheese and paprika... ..while Chef Jake Rojas of Tallulah's Taqueria in Providence, Rhode Island cooked up my favorite dish of the day Tacos de Lengua con salsa fesca (Beef Tongue Tacos). The meat in this taco was incredible. So rich and tender; held together by a perfect corn tortilla and a douse of fresh lime juice with hot sauce. I honestly haven't had a Beef Tongue dish of any sort in years and this was a fresh reminder...
