Frontera Grill Chefs Explore the African Roots of Mexican Cuisine - Eater Chicago
"Frontera Grill has introduced a special Black History Month menu that highlights Afro-Mestizo culture. The menu includes dishes like grilled shrimp in coconut sauce, mahi-mahi in red chile peanut salsa, chicken in black bean sauce, grilled cauliflower in estofado sauce, and a tropical empanada. The flavors are influenced by traditional Mexican cuisine with a strong Afro-Mestizo influence, incorporating ingredients such as garlic, epazote, guajillo chiles, and peanuts. The response to the new menu has been overwhelmingly positive, and it has been praised for its resemblance to African-American soul food and Caribbean cuisine." - aimee.levitt
