“We’re both thrilled to create a new opportunity to showcase the myriad of talented chefs in San Antonio - some you’ll be very familiar with and some which will hopefully be new and exhilarating to our guests,” said Suta.
The new series will be hosted at Blayne’s, the bar above Francis Bogside in St. Paul Square. There will be live music during the dinner, according to a news release.
The inaugural six-course dinner on June 27 will feature food from Chef Jesse Kuykendall, known as “Chef Kirk,” and Chef Anthony Hernandez, who co-own Milpa.
Kuykendall is also the executive chef at Ocho, a CHOPPED champion and a UNESCO chef ambassador for San Antonio.
“Both chefs are known for their creative and utterly scrumptious Mexican fusion cuisine,” the news release said.
The inaugural menu will have the following dishes:
- Spinach Salad with guava lemon vin, candied chili pecans, roasted corn, honey goat cheese

- Tamal Zacahuil: 15 lb. tamal, served family style. Guajillo braised pork with Mexican crema and pickled onions, salsa arbol
- Palate Cleanser: Raspado de melon y jengibre
- Halibut with cilantro romesco, capers, asparagus & fried arugula
