Hector Santiago, chef owner of Pura Vida in Poncey-Hi, is adding to his list of accomplishments the title of guest chef at Cafe 458 this Thursday evening.
Santiago is the first guest chef to be welcomed by Café 458, the restaurant that supports the Samaritan House of Atlanta, a nonprofit agency whose mission is to help homeless men and women achieve self-sufficiency. All the proceeds for meals prepared go directly to the organization; hopes are to work with many more guest chefs in the future.
Dinner will be served from 5:30 - 8:30 pm and reservations are required. Click here for more information or call 404-525-3276.
The meal, at $28 per person, is a steal, and includes Hanson’s farm heirloom tomato “ceviche” with goat milk cuajada (curd), grilled caribe adobo hanger steak with cilantro chimichurri and aji amarillo papitas and passion fruit, raspberry and Venezuelan Chocolate tart for dessert.
Johnathan Metellus, Cafe 458’s chef, reached out personally to Santiago who saw “a real benefit” to working with Cafe 458.
