Tomas Kalika’s become an unlikely star in Buenos Aires, where he mashes up Ashkenazi and Argentine cuisines at Mishiguene, his acclaimed restaurant.
Laura Catena is the fourth-generation winemaker leading the historic Bodega Catena Zapata in Mendoza, Argentina. (She is also a physician.)

For two nights, the pair will collaborate on a food and wine happening that sounds truly “mishiguene” at Chefs Club, the SoHo eatery that hosts a rotating cast of guest chefs.
The menu hasn’t been previewed, but the idea’s irresistible. It’ll set you back $110/person, and you can buy tickets here.

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.
At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.
Readers like you make it all possible. We’ve started our Passover Fundraising Drive, and we need 1,800 readers like you to step up to support the Forward by April 21. Members of the Forward board are even matching the first 1,000 gifts, up to $70,000.
This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism, because every dollar goes twice as far.
