Dinner           6:30PM. C.T.

Join JBF Greens at Tzuco for a taste of the Riviera Maya along the coastline of Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula. 
 
Born in Huitzuco, Guerrero, Mexico, executive chef/owner Carlos Gaytán cultivated his culinary passion alongside his mother. Honing his craft in the United States and Mexico, chef Carlos opened Tzuco in the River North neighborhood of Chicago in 2019, and was later recognized as a James Beard Award semifinalist in the Best New Restaurant category in 2020. 
 
For the occasion, chef Carlos—widely known as an ambassador of Mexican cuisine—will curate a festive menu that highlights heritage Mexican flavors prepared with masterful French culinary technique. An ode to sustainability, the evening’s menu will display ecological mindfulness while honoring the beauty and richness of the Riviera Maya.
