✨ Last Night Was Pure Magic ✨

We had the absolute pleasure of hosting an unforgettable private dining experience at Puerto Rican Spice Restaurant in Northport alongside the incredible Chef Doris and Chef Yamzey.

The night was all about Puerto Rican–French fusion—bold island flavors meeting classic French technique, plated with love, passion, and creativity. Every course told a story, every bite brought people together, and the energy in the room was unmatched.

Huge thank you to our guests for trusting us with your evening and to Puerto Rican Spice for opening their doors and hearts for such a beautiful collaboration. This is exactly why we do what we do 🤍

Until the next one… 🍽️✨

🍽️ Monthly Fusion Dinners
Join me for curated monthly fusion dinners hosted by Puerto Rican Spice Restaurant in North Port, Florida with Chef Doris—where bold flavors meet creative combinations and every menu tells a story you won’t find anywhere else.

🏡 Private Dining Affairs
Looking for something more intimate? I also offer in-home private dinners for 6–8 guests, where your space becomes the restaurant and every detail is designed around connection, comfort, and unforgettable food.

🚐 A Little Fun Fact
If you see me around town in a mobile detailing vehicle, that’s because I also own Gonzalez Mobile Detailing—trade of all trades, I suppose 😉 Proud Best of Venice runner-up two years in a row (2024–2025).

Whether you’re gathering at the table in your home or joining us out on the town, these dinners are about slowing down, sharing stories, and enjoying really good food together.

I'm still buzzing from last night's chef event! 🎉 We might have had only six reservations, but those six guests brought enough warmth and energy to fill the whole room. It turned into such a fun, intimate evening – truly a night to remember. 🙌 Thank you to everyone who attended and made it so special!

I also want to give a special shout-out to two incredible people behind the scenes. Doris, the owner of Puerto Rican Spice, thank you for graciously hosting us in your beautiful space (and for all your support! 🙏). And to my amazing girlfriend Jacalyn, thank you for being my rock and helping with everything behind the scenes ❤️. I couldn’t have done it without you two!

And now, let's talk about the FOOD 😋🍴 – the real star of the evening! We put together a menu that took everyone on a little culinary adventure:

🥣 Moqueca – a fragrant Brazilian seafood stew, served with crispy farofa-dusted tostones (fried plantains with toasted cassava seasoning). So comforting and flavorful!

🥟 Bolinhos – savory little fritters that were gone in a flash. Crunchy outside, fluffy inside, and utterly addictive! 😁

🥭 Tropical Mango Salad – bright and refreshing, with juicy mango, sweet grapes, crumbled queso fresco, and a zesty citrus vinaigrette. Summer on a plate! 🥗

🥗 Caesar Salad – a classic done right, tossed in our creamy house-made dressing. Because nothing beats dressing made from scratch!

🍛 Feijoada – hearty Brazilian black bean stew slow-cooked with tender braised short rib and sausage, served over fluffy coconut rice (with the traditional orange slice on the side for a burst of brightness 🍊). This rich dish had everyone scraping their bowls!

🥩 Churrasco – perfectly grilled steak, sliced thin and paired with coconut rice, topped with a drizzle of fresh chimichurri and garnished with an orange slice. Juicy, bold, and it disappeared off the plates in no time!

🍹 Caipirinhas – Brazil’s iconic cocktail made with fresh lime, sugar, and cachaça. We all raised a glass (or two) of this tangy-sweet goodness to celebrate the night! 🥂

For me, seeing everyone enjoy these dishes (and learning a bit about their stories) was the highlight of the night. 🥰 The room was filled with laughter, clinking glasses, and happy taste buds. It may have been a small gathering, but it truly felt like a big family feast by the end of the evening, full of joy and connection 💖.

I'm so proud of what we created and beyond grateful for this experience. You all made this chef very happy 👨‍🍳❤️. Thank you again to everyone who came out and supported us – you turned a humble night into something magical. Can't wait to do it again and share more good food and memories with you all. Here's to many more nights like this! 🥂🎉

Happy Thanksgiving!
