Abraham Salum, owner of Komali, was surprised when he found out that his execuchef, Anastacia Quinoñes, had never been to Mexico City. The city is Salum’s birthplace and, he knew, the gastronomical battlestar of Mexico, so he took her! The two spent three days visiting restaurants, markets, producers and a few historical sites. We will present a series of videos of their trip with the first one appearing today.

Note: These videos were shot at Salum restaurant as service was starting so there is some background noise and some uncooperative light conditions. We appreciate your forbearance.

Some of the dishes found on their travels are now appearing as specials on Thursday, Friday and Saturday at Komali. The popular ones will join the regular menu.
