Dine at the Kids Table
Do you find yourself yearning for the days of yesteryear, where corndogs ruled and girls and boys drooled? Citizen Fox Chef Kevin Schuder delivers a deliciously creative (and plant-based) take on your favorite childhood dishes, only this time you’ll gladly finish your carrots and peas (roasted a la plancha with shelling pea mousse, pea tendrils, fava beans, and Harissa spice). Hot pockets are dolloped with cashew cream and wrapped in phyllo dough, and beer is finally an option. If mom and dad could see you now. // 945 Valencia Street; Friday, May 29; $59; $25 optional beer pairing. Get tickets here.
