But one lucky Greenpointer, Yana Gilbuena, of the Salo Project, has escaped frigid NYC and is in that crazy city of Key West, kicking off her 50 states/50 dinners series tonight! In celebration, she shares with us her recipe for sinuglaw–a spicy ceviche of pork belly, cucumber, fresh tuna, and spices– a dish native to Davao, Philippines. Continue reading

It’s June and we are heading outdoors for Sunday Supper #6, which will take place on June 2, 2013 from 7-9pm at Domestic Construction (218 India St).

Everything will be served on banana leaves! (No stupid plates or forks!)
