Menu for the Food and Film Art Show
We will be serving/performing this meal at the Aurora Picture Show while above the diners, on a giant screen, art videos by Chicano filmmakers will play. The art show explores how films and food share texture, pacing, history, and how they perform similar aesthetic functions dealing with identity, remembering and community (March 28).

Hola, Rick! Thanks very much. Two of my chef friends are flying in to help staff the kitchen that night. Kevin Babbit from San Antonio and Todd Martin from Nashville understand this food, have prepared it before, and are also super excited about participating. We went to culinary school together. I wish could share the experience w/you,,,,but Maybe..another time!
Parese que la noche va ser muy sabroso en cada sentido! Dale un buen abrazo a Willie por mi! Buena suerte!
