Tacos, Tequila, and More: Your Guide to Cinco de Mayo Weekend

4 May

Cinco de Mayo, or “The Fifth of May,” marks the Mexican Army’s 1862 victory over France at the Battle of Puebla. Though it’s not as big of a deal in Mexico as their Independence Day (which it’s commonly confused as), it’s still celebrated with family get-togethers, dancing, fireworks, and lots of tasty food and drinks. Even if you’re not in Mexico for this celebration, you can still break out your oversized sombrero (we know you have one) and find a city around the U.S. showing their love for this Mexican holiday (and cuisine)!

Festivals around the US this Cinco de Mayo weekend & beyond:

Some great establishments to visit this weekend in New York & Austin: 

Austin, Texas:

Hungry for more? Here are some delicious recipes to try out if you’re celebrating at home!

Whatever, whenever, and wherever you decide to fiesta this weekend, share your Mexican fair with us on Forkly!

Featured: Meet Stephanie Izard, Top Chef

30 Mar

CHEF STEPHANIE IZARD (Forkly: @Stephandthegoat)

Apart from her fabulous Forkly photos, most Forkly users know Chef Izard as the winner of Bravo’s Top Chef – Season Four.

After her huge and historical Top Chef win (she was the first female chef ever to win the title of Top Chef), Chef Izard opened the Girl & the Goat in Chicago—voted by Saveur Magazine as “America’s Best New Restaurant” and nominated in 2011 for the James Beard Best New Restaurant Award. In 2011, Stephanie also released her new cookbook, Girl in the Kitchen, and was named one of Food & Wine Magazine’s “Best New Chefs.” She is now working on her second restaurant, “Little Goat.”

Taste Tip for your next visit to Girl & the Goat: Chef Izard just rotated the Wood Grilled Broccoli back onto the menu—a spring menu staple and customer favorite. Stephanie especially likes the “spiced crispies” part of the dish.

All in all, us Forkly fans have plenty to get excited about as we get first glimpses of Chef Izard’s tastes from one post to the next!

If you want to learn more about Chef Izard, follow her on twitter @stephandthegoat or on Facebook at Girl and the Goat.

Happy Tasting from the Forkly crew!
