Is That A Coyote In The Kitchen?

The Day of the Dead Dinner Show has known many fine chefs. And then, there were some other years. Hey, its a fundraiser.

But, and I say this with saliva glands panting, we've really outdone ourselves this year. How so? Well, our Celebrity Guest Chefs are Miguel Gradillas and Tony Burris. Click here to listen to a recent interview with the chefs on the Prescott Arts Beat radio show.

Now, for you living outside the greater Prescott area, these names may mean little. I mean, yes I can tell you that Miguel took years of kitchen gun-for-hire and put it in the service of an amazing little place called The Paradise Cafe, mixing Hawaiian and Southwestern cuisines. And yes, I can tell you that Tony took local bar cuisine on sharp left turn with the introduction of his exotic paninis and sweet potato fries with the sweet pepper sauce, et al.

But, sadly, dear out of town friends, you might think I'm stretching things a bit. Sigh. Yeeeeah. How can I say this?

More panini for me, my friend.

They're that damn good. And everyone in town who's had their amazing food over at The Raven Cafe can appreciate what's about to end up on their plate on Nov.11.

Their tempting menu for this evening includes Stacked Enchiladas (chicken or vegetarian), Lime Cilantro Rice, Southwestern Black Beans, a salad of mixed greens, jicama, pomegranate seeds with a pomegranate vingrette dressing and Chili Chocolate Brownies for dessert.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

Pardon. I seldom need a napkin while typing. Just a little drooly here. Sorry.

Well, tickets will be available soon at Show Business Video, 405 W. Goodwin Street, in Prescott.

Remember, Coyote Radio Charter Members have first dibs at these tickets. There are only 12 tables for guests and this event has soldout five of the last six years.

Plan well. Your palate will thank you.
