Ethiopian Pop Up Dinner
Mon, Mar 7, 2016 at 5pm
Veronica Cunningham is coming in as a guest chef with our own Kathleen Gilbert to cook up some tasty treats.
We will provide a combination plate of vegetarian and meat dishes, as well as strictly vegetarian and even VEGAN options!
For those of you unfamiliar with Ethiopian food, it's all about COMMUNITY. These plates are big, so bring a few friends to share with, though we will be able to accommodate for single diners as well!
