Mexissippi 2017

“Mexissippi”, as part of the second annual Light in April, featured a dozen of the top chefs from across the state who gather to celebrate the minority men and women of our kitchens without whom we could not operate. “These folks work tirelessly in our kitchens and dining rooms, rarely getting credit for the unbelievable work they do. They are the heartbeat of our industry,” said Currence. Each chef prepared a different tasting portion of a latin-inspired dish for the event.
