Leo Bar returns this November with a delectable and mouthwatering feast! ANI, which means "harvest" in Tagalog, will inspire this dinner featuring regional Filipino cuisine and celebrating local and seasonal ingredients from Texas.
This traditional Filipino kamayan dinner by acclaimed nomadic chef Yana Gilbuena will be coursed out, served on banana leaves, and eaten with your hands. As a special treat, dinner will feature lechon (roasted suckling pig), roasted on-site and carved just before service.
Spots are limited to the first 75 registrants.
