A Puerto Rican–Inspired Collaboration Celebrating the Launch of Spanglish
Chef, host, and cookbook author Monti Carlo joins forces with beverage expert L.P. O’Brien for a vibrant collaboration dinner celebrating the release of Carlo’s debut cookbook, Spanglish.
Carlo, a proud Puerto Rican voice in food media, is a two-time Telly Award–winning personality, TV host, and senior editor of Food and Dining at the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, whose new book is a love letter to bicultural cooking and Puerto Rican identity. She’ll partner with LP O’Brien—Afro-Puerto Rican mixology trailblazer, beverage innovator, and inaugural winner of Netflix’s Drink Masters—renowned for her expertise in crafting exceptional beverages and pushing the boundaries of modern cocktail culture.
Copies of Spanglish are available for purchase with tickets or at the event from our friends at Kitchen Arts & Letters.
This one-night-only dinner will feature a cocktail reception with passed hors d'oeuvre upon arrival, an expertly crafted multi-course menu with thoughtfully curated wine or beverage pairings, and a Q&A with the featured chefs.
