We're doing a 6 course Tasting dinner of North African Cuisines (Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia) this Friday night- 01/27- at 6:30pm with or without matching international wines. Come join us. My cooking skills are intact- was so even when my sleep apnea was at it's worst- and so we promise an evening of great food and wines. Reservations highly recommended.
As an aside: a 'tapa' is Spanish fora small plate of food- which is what we use it for at the restaurant, since more and more Americans know the word. In English speaking countries an 'entre' is the large main dish of the meal, though in France it's the small dish at the start or entrance into the meal. 'Mezze' or 'meze' is Greek, Turkish, Arabic and Hebrew for a small plate of food or tapa, though we use it for our medium size on our regular menu. It's a silly multi-language joke. For this tasting dinner all the courses are tapa sized.
