We’re excited to announce a new, monthly series that connects the community with local chefs all while enjoying their food. The event is simply titled Story To Table. The format is one part communal dinner party and one part Q & A.
We approached Jeret Peña and Chef Lorenzo Morales of the Old Main Association, a small tavern nestled in the historic Monte Vista neighborhood, to see if they would be interested in hosting our first event.
They agreed immediately and suggested that we put a contemporary twist on a South Texas tradition, the tamalada.
“A tamalada ties into the fabric of what makes San Antonio the city that it is. My family has one every year and I thought it would be cool to share that with the public but with a more modern take on the tradition,” said Morales, a native of San Antonio and a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America-Hyde Park, NY.
On Dec. 15, starting at 7 p.m., we’ll host a small crowd for an interactive three-course dinner at Old Main Association, 2512 N. Main. Tickets are just $35 each with all the proceeds going back to the restaurant. Check out whats for dinner below.
