If you didn’t get to try any of Sizzle Dining’s 100+ participating restaurants, that’s a shame but there’s always next year. This weekend, I tried Baleen and Hyde N Chic.
Highlights:
Dinner with JLB on Oct. 8
My colleague Robyn George, aka JLB (every other Friday), is hosting At the Table , an interactive dinner and chat with Next Door’s dynamic duo, chefs John Hill and Jessica Shoemaker, in Cape Coral on Tuesday, Oct. 8 at 6 p.m.
We’d love to see you there and bring your questions! For menu details and to purchase tickets, visit news-press.com/table .
Hispanic Heritage Month celebrations
Through Nov. 17, Tommy Bahama Restaurant & Bar on Third Street South is running “La Comida & Tequila,” with food and drink specials inspired by various Latin cuisines. The dedicated menu includes Aguachile($20), comprising Peruvian bay scallops, Argentinian red shrimp, halibut or snapper, and “Spa Day” margaritas, which have me dreaming of a getaway to booze-free Rancho La Puerta.
Through Oct. 15, upscale Latin fusion spot Unidos offers a $56 three-course prix-fixe that includes a glass of Malbec. The menu runs Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Highlights include rompe colchon (a Venezuelan seafood cocktail), portobello risotto, and oblea, a decadent Colombian dessert.
