Old School vs. New School Night for MSF Haitian Relief Effort

This Thursday we are pleased to have Cindy Mojica as guest chef, presenting a menu of heritage Salvadoran recipes paired with modern reinterpretations. Cindy is a line cook at Bar Tartine and will be assisted by Gloria Mojica, a native of Sonsonate, El Salvador who is traveling from Los Angeles to hold court.

Cindy has elected to donate a portion of her proceeds to the other MSF: Médecins Sans Frontières, who has already dispatched surgeons, anesthetists, medical supplies and an inflatable hospital to Port Au Prince. MSF profits will also go to the Médecins Sans Frontières Haitian relief effort.
