Welcome to The Table. The purpose of this event is to bring people together to share food and inspiring stories in an intimate setting. It is designed to be a cultural journey through food which is why it’s called “The Table”.
In our first of a series of The Table events, Chef Luis Clavel of Shuck Seafood & Raw Bar and East of Grafton Tavern is pleased to be joined by his mother Maria Ramos (originally from El Salvador), special guest and storyteller, to collaborate on an amazing evening of food, culture and stories.
Start the evening with a delicious welcome Horchata cocktail, reception then settle in for an amazing cooking demo and family style feast. Immerse yourself in a Latin American Night at the Market, complete with live music by Latin Drama.
