Tapas con Madre: A Spanish Mother's Day Weekend with Chef Gabriel Botezan
No two days or dining experiences are ever the same at Frame, but one common bond links all of us: Madre.
And this year we’re going La Buena Vida Frame-style for Mother’s Day Weekend, giving us two ways to toast by Frame-favorites Chef Gabriel and Gabriela Botezan.
A Tapas-Style Saturday Dinner: tables overflowing with pinchos morunos, gambas al ajillo, jamón Ibérico, patatas bravas, and a not-to-miss pastel de aceite de oliva (olive oil cake).
And … a wildly fun Sunday Brunch featuring gazpacho from southern Spain, Spanish frittatas, skillets with chorizo, pan con tomato, and Basque-style burnt cheesecake.
Add in Flamenco music, reserve Spanish wines, house-made sangria, and lots of non-boozy libations for the non-imbibers and pint-sized set, and — yup — we’re positive: This is exactly what we all want to do for this much-anticipated May weekend.
This one is foolproof; Mother-approved!
(You don’t even have to ask.)
