Flavors of the World:  Cinco de Mayo with Gulsidel Velasquez
Tuesday, May 1, 6:30 pm, $35
Contrary to popular belief, the fifth of May isn’t a Mexican national holiday that celebrates the country’s independence.  Nor is it a day just to indulge in cold Coronas and tacos.  Cinco de Mayo honors the unlikely victory of the Mexican army of Puebla over the French on May 5, 1862.  So who better to help us celebrate the holiday than Gulsidel Velasquez, head chef at the Ranch Club and a Puebla native.  He’ll teach you how to prepare a host of authentic Pueblan dishes in honor of the authentic story behind Cinco de Mayo.
