On the Road: El Pretexto, Cayey
On the Road: El Pretexto, Cayey
Puerto Rico is an island full of fantastic food and gorgeous places. Each corner has its character and uniqueness and presents specialized locally produced ingredients. The Pretexto Food Experience presented the On the Road Dinner Series, our proposal to take food lovers to these amazing corners and have unique food experiences carefully curated by El Pretexto’s team. This time, we are collaborating with Michellin-star winner Chef Jonathan Meléndez from Casa Mono, NYC. We have been flying him monthly to play with the local ingredients in a different setting. Each date and place have been entirely different from one another, and that includes ingredients and menu.
The closing of this memorable project will be on Sunday, December 17th, at 2:30 p.m. at El Pretexto. Chef Jonathan Meléndez will be joined by James Beard Awards winner Chef Natalia Vallejo, chef-owner of Cocina al Fondo, to present a beautiful dinner with a wine pairing. Both chefs will be prepared with love and the flavorful, fresh ingredients that Puerto Rico produces. We will enjoy a delicious welcome drink courtesy of Worldclass by Méndez & Co. and an outstanding menu with a wine pairing by Sommelier Giacomo Galati from Méndez & Co. Please reserve your space today and join us to celebrate our 5th anniversary and closing a remarkable series of On the Road countryside experiences!
The menu for El Pretexto will be full of fresh seasonal local ingredients, including meats, seafood, and vegetables.
