• Third course: Short Ribs
• Fourth course: A feast, highlighting a staple of traditional Mexican cuisine, is Suadero con Puré de Aguacate y Cebollines, a hearty dish of thinly cut beef served with fresh avocado purée and a sprinkle of scallions.
• Final course: is a classic Mexican dessert and one he’s well known for perfecting, Merengue de Totomoxtle, a stunning yet simple dessert of meringues flavored with charred corn-husk powder and filled with a luscious sweet-corn cream.
