Booze infused food

Thinking of a new way to change my ordinary sunday brunch, I started searching for options. I found The Brooklyn Booze Experiment. A culinary competition held in the Bell House in Brooklyn, wich by the way is a great place with high ceilings, wood beams and vintage gold chandeliers. It seems like a great place for indie concerts.

So after waking up in a rainy sunday, took a cab and arrived to the Bell House. I really didin´t know what to expect, but I like the informal style and the type of event, bringing to a competition the best home chefs to show their abilities, with a theme "Booze".  So as the name of the event says, they have to create a dish inspired by booze, either wine, rum, beer, cognac, whatever they choose and the goal, to win the competition. So about 18 diferent chefs made their creation.
My first impresion was really the worst organizacion ever, it took me 40 minutes in line to start tasting the first dish: pescado veracruzano with tequila, then I continued with other small tastings, braised beef with cognac, chicken tacos with rum, brownies with mezcal frosting and other things which were not of my entire taste, and thankfully I found the plate which made the trip worth it, the Torta Ahogada, a mexican pork sandwich (braised pork with tequila, this time) mayo, onions, lime and red chilli sauce, I added an extra touch of valentina, wich is a great mexican chilli sauce by the way, made me smile and get out of there happy.
