Last week I attended a delicious event at Pacific Restaurant Supply, it was a pop-up food event produced by Chef Deniz Tarakcioglu and his partner Hakan Burcuoglu. Featuring a selection of curated cocktails with an esoteric menu inspired by the bounties of Asia Minor [Turkey].

The Demlicay cocktail
There was a selection of cocktails as well as local craft beers and wine for people to enjoy with the food. A DJ was spinning music and there were unique artifacts in random places around the room. It was a packed house of foodies enjoying the space, upstairs of the restaurant kitchen supplier Pacific Restaurant Supply.
