Garces' progressive dinner: On the menu

Chef Jose Garces got 42 people to put down $200 a head for a progressive dinner tomorrow (11/11) that will include Distrito, followed by Tinto (with a cocktail served from the adjacent Village Whiskey), then to Chifa and ending at Amada.

It sold out in no time flat, and there are 50 people on the waiting list.

Not to make you feel bad if you're not going, but here's the menu.

On the plus side, Garces plans to reprise this in March. Details to come.

We must not be watching the same series... Besides, Garces _won_ the last two weeks. He's great, and we should be proud to have him in Philly.

Well Super, you just proved how little you know. While the places you mentioned above do serve wonderful Latino food, Jose Garces does not serve Caribbean cuisine. His restaurants feature Spanish cuisine (from Spain...big difference there), Mexican, and Peruvian. No jacket required either.

I am so confused by these comments. Garces is an exceptional chef. If you seriously think that no other chef or line cook or what have you sweats in the kitchen, you are living in a dream world.
