Yuyo
Christmakwanzakkah Party
Forget about all your other holiday parties. The holiday party of all holiday parties has officially arrived! We're thrilled to be teaming up with one of the top-rated TC event hosts of 2019, Yuyo, for our very first Austin Christmakwanzakkah Party. Executive Chef/Owner Maribel Rivero, a Semi-Finalist for this year's James Beard "Best Chef" SW Award, totally blew attendees away at our first collaboration together back in March. So, when we were considering options for this year's holiday party, Yuyo was at the top of the list. In the spirit of the holidays, the format for this event series will be different than our typical event format - passed hors d'oeuvres cocktail party to start before moving into the seated portion of the party. The evening will kick off with a plethora of Chef Rivero's favorite canapés as you drink and mingle. Then, we'll take our seats for a large-format feast. Of course, we'll wrap up the night with a chef Q&A during dessert. For those of you who weren't able to attend our first event at Yuyo, you can read up on Chef Rivero's SUPER impressive background below. It speaks for itself!
