One restaurant’s loss is another chef’s gain – even if it’s only for one night.
Alberto Cabrera, the original chef from The Local Craft Food & Drink, will leave the kitchen he runs at a North Key Largo private club to cook for one night only representing the restaurant he opened.
He’ll represent the Local, which just lost beloved chef Phil Bryant, at the popular Gables gastro event, Giralda Under the Stars: Spring Soiree on April 6.
“To this day, we get customers asking us about some of their favorite dishes like buffalo sweetbreads, Brussels sprouts and Key West shrimp and grits,” says owner Carmen Mallea. “It’s exciting to have Chef Albert back to serve a fun throwback menu.”
The menu will also include Grouper Cheek Fish & Chips, Jackman Ranch Flat Iron Steak and a Chocolate-Cinnamon Pot de Crème for dessert.
