"Noted Puerto Rican chef Mario Pagan of Next Iron Chef fame celebrates the heritage and culinary footprint of all Hispanic cultures and LatinX cuisine with a menu rooted in his “Nueva Mesa Latina” ethos. Think adobo lamb confit with boniato gnocchi and panko-dusted Chilean sea bass with truffle-buttered yuca mousse in a sauce fashioned from foie, port, and veal stock. Chayote’s interior may be a bold and contemporary homage to tropicalism, but Chayote ugly it’s not." - Faiyaz Kara
