Caribbean Guest Chef Night at the Community Cafe with Claudia’s Mesa
Join the Community Cafe as we visit Colombia’s Caribbean coast on Wednesday, August 30 from 5 – 7 p.m. with Guest Chef Claudia Krevat from Claudia’s Mesa and Bozambique. Born and raised in Barranquilla on the north coast of Colombia, Claudia strives to fuse the foods from her home country with local Montana ingredients. Her menu for the Community Cafe will be a Caribbean inspired plate with Colombian arepas (corn patties), fresh greens and mango salad, coconut-cola rice with raisins, pulled ancho pork with orange, and Cuban black beans.
As you dine on your Caribbean plate, enjoy music by Bozambique, a world-infused rhythm and blues band, inspired by Afro Pop, Highlife, and Cuban & Brazilian song and dance.
The Community Cafe is Montana’s only pay-what-you-can Cafe, providing dinner service Sundays through Fridays from 5 – 7 p.m. Suggested price for meals is $7, but ultimately patrons set their own price.
