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.
