Taste of Puerto Vallarta in New York
Fideicomiso de Puerto Vallarta - September 2006 |
 Puerto Vallarta is the second most important gastronomic center in Mexico, behind Mexico City, offering endless alternatives for food aficionados. Some of Mexico’s top chefs along with numerous chefs from around the world have settled in Puerto Vallarta. Puerto Vallarta is also home to many internationally acclaimed restaurants that serve everything from regional Mexican to creative contemporary Mexican fare and the most varied international options that impress even the most sophisticated palates.
In November of every year, Puerto Vallarta reigns as Mexico’s capital of culinary arts with the annual International Gourmet Festival. During this ten-day celebration about 20 guest chefs - amongst the finest in the world - in addition to talented local chefs offer special tasting menus in 21 participating restaurants, cooking classes and wine tastings.
Puerto Vallarta’s Fideicomiso de Turismo is now working through LATITUDE, its public relations agency for the US and Canada, to promote Puerto Vallarta as an important culinary center and introduce the city’s restaurants, creative gastronomy and annual International Gourmet Festival held in November to fine food and wine lovers.
The Event
As a way to introduce Puerto Vallarta’s superior gastronomic offerings to the American public, we have teamed up with the prestigious James Beard Foundation in New York and the well famed restaurant Rosa Mexicano for a series of specially prepared Puerto Vallarta themed-dinners for exclusive media for top food and travel journalists and editors, beginning on September 6, 2006.
Chef Luis Fitch from Puerto Vallarta’s highly acclaimed Los Xitomates, a Five Star Diamond Award and a Chaine des Rotisseurs restaurant, will be guest chef at the James Beard House on Wednesday, September 6, 2006, preparing special Puerto Vallarta-themed menus.
The James Beard House will be hosting a special dinner for its members and the general public beginning with a cocktail reception followed by a special 5-course vallartense menu prepared by Chef Fitch that will include a tequila tasting to introduce all attendees to the authentic flavors and traditions of Jalisco. All dishes will be paired with Mexican wines courtesy of the Chateau Camou winery.
The James Beard House is the most prestigious venue in the US for culinary artists to showcase their talent, similar to prestigious theaters and symphonic halls for performing artists and musicians. The Foundation’s objective is “to celebrate, preserve, and nurture America's culinary heritage and diversity in order to elevate the appreciation of our culinary excellence”.
We have also partnered with the famed restaurant Rosa Mexicano, to create a special dinning series featuring Puerto Vallarta culinary specialties. Rosa Mexicano will be hosting a special themed dinner for the general public at their New York Union Square location with Luis Fitch as guest chef, on Thursday, September 7, 2006. Following the guest chef dinner, Rosa Mexicano will be offering a special Taste of Puerto Vallarta menu alongside its regular menu in all of its restaurants: three in New York (Upper East Side, Columbus Circle/Lincoln Center, and Union Square); Washington D.C., Atlanta, and West Palm Beach (opening later this month) until September 16. To further promote this special Puerto Vallarta menu with local residents, inform them about Puerto Vallarta and its annual International Gourmet Festival.
