Traif
DAY 2: Christmakwanzakkah Party
Forget about all your other holiday parties. This is the one you need to prioritize! We're thrilled to be teaming up with the chef you all know and love, Jason Marcus, for what will undoubtedly be the holiday party of all holiday parties. 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 that will feature a suckling pig roast, as well as an assortment of delectable side 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. It is by no means an exaggeration to say he's a virtuoso talent in the kitchen! BTW, we may or may not be doing a raffle at the event and giving away a few awesome foodie gifts... We're in the holiday spirit!
