2012 Best New Chef Ricardo Zarate is throwing two ceviche parties at his downtown restaurant.

 

Acclaimed Peruvian chef Ricardo Zarate and partner Stephane Bombet have teamed with Food GPS’s Joshua Lurie in bringing some of Los Angeles’ top chefs to downtown restaurant Mo-chica with one goal in mind: to push the boundaries of ceviche. Taking place on December 9 and 16, the Ceviche Nights dinner series is inspired in part by Zarate’s upcoming seafood-focused cevicheria Paiche, slated to open in 2013. Participating chefs include Josiah Citrin, Food & Wine Best New Chef Bryant Ng (The Spice Table) and Los Angeles magazine 2012 Chef Of The Year Kris Yenbamroong (Night + Market).

At each dinner Zarate will feature ceviche variations like hot ceviche and duck ceviche. December 9 is Uni Night, with all four ceviche courses (and dessert!) starring sea urchin. Local craft beer, to be determined, will be served with each course. 

The dinners run $75-$85, with seatings every half hour from 5:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. Tickets are available via Eventbrite. 10% of all proceeds will benefit the American Red Cross Hurricane Sandy relief efforts.
