Traif
Day 1: Christmakwanzakkah Party
Forget about all your other holiday commitments. After a long hiatus, we’re thrilled to announce that the holiday party to end all holiday parties is coming back – and, the man, the myth, the legend, Chef Jason Marcus, is just as excited about its triumphant return as we are. As some of you may remember from the last time we did this, the format for this event series will be a mix of cocktail party and seated dinner. The evening will kick off with a plethora of inventive canapés as you drink and mingle. Then, we’ll be moving into the seated portion of the party for more dazzling (and shareable) dishes.. Lastly, we’ll wrap up the night with a selection of Chef Marcus’s favorite desserts. For those of you that haven’t attended any of our past events at Traif, you can read up on Chef Marcus’s background below, but it is by no means an exaggeration to say he’s a virtuoso talent in the kitchen! Yes, we’re in the holiday spirit, and we’re eager to make the season bright with you!
