Florida Tripletail Art Attack by Executive Chef Santiago Gomez
It’s always a party at the Mexican, Art Deco-inspired Cantina La Veinte {495 Brickell Avenue, Brickell; 786.623.6135}. And on Monday, December 3, that goes for chefs, too!
Joining Cantina La Veinte’s Executive Chef Santiago Gomez, who also helms the kitchen at Tacology, Miami’s top chefs—like Norman Van Aken of Three, Diego Oka of La Mar, Deme Lomos of Niu Kitchen and Arson, Carlos Garcia of Obra Kitchen Table, and Sebastian La Roca of CVLTVRA—will work together next week to create an Art Basel-inspired “Menu Gallery.” From Monday, December 3 to Saturday, December 8, each visiting chef will create a special dish for the Cantina La Veinte menu, with a new one debuting each day. The chefs were given two rules: first, to be their most creative (hi, Art Basel!) and two, to highlight a local South Florida ingredient in whatever dish they create. Read below for a sneak peek at what these chefs came up with.
From Chef Santiago Gomez:
Florida Tripletail Art Attack with both a turnip-beet and a turnip-cilantro purée
Priced at $32
From Chef Diego Oka:
La Flor de Papa, a potato causa with beets, Jerusalem artichoke salad, stone crab tartare, rocoto huancaina, smoked trout eggs, and avocado
Priced at $21
From Chef Carlos Garcia:
Seafood Arroz Pegado with grilled octopus and prawns
Priced at $28
From Chef Deme Lomas:
Maine Lobster Salad dressed in avocado, a five-minute egg, trout roe, and pesto
Priced at $26
These dishes will be available at Cantina La Veinte next week, during dinner service only. Dinner is served nightly from 5 p.m. to Midnight. All dishes are priced a la carte.
Happy dining!
