Muertos Margarita
Dia de los Muertos… what a beautiful ancient Mexican tradition. I was honored to celebrate this year with my sweet friend @christyvegaofficial & her team @casavegarestaurant. Halfway through our @beardfoundation WEL Fellowship, Christy’s father passed away before they were honored with the James Beard American Classics award. We celebrated her father’s hard work & legacy Christy is working hard to preserve and pass down to her kids at their family restaurant in Los Angeles. We all wrote the names of our loved ones on beautiful monarch butterflies we then added to the ofrenda & it was really a beautiful tribute to our families.
