I fell in love with Cuban food in the dimly lit bar underneath Hotel Pontotoc at 6 p.m. Monday, June 15.
Chef Kyle Garhain, who specializes in Cuban cuisine, prepared a four-course authentic Cuban dinner for the hotel’s Taste of The City series at The Dame at 69 E. Pontotoc Ave.
In the past, Garhain cheffed at Midtown’s Memphis Whistle and the former Backlot Sandwich Shop Downtown. He is currently the chef for the newly launched Madison Social.
Though a native Memphian, Garhain went to culinary school in Cuba, and he started leading food tours of the country in 2019 through his company, Buen Sabor Cuban Tours.
