Served from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, Ixcateco Grill features twists on brunch favorites with made from scratch flavors from the central and southwestern regions of Mexico.  Ixcateco Grill's weekend brunch is a delicious departure from typical American brunch offerings. Chef Ramirez' philosophy is to present a simple yet varied menu. "Our goal at brunch is to introduce to our guests to the types of food prepared in Mexico during the daytime hours, which is just as delicious and complex but a bit lighter than dinner fare," said Ramirez. "Our brunch menu offers some breakfast-oriented items and some dishes that would be more associated with midday."  The menu features authentic recipes, prepared on the wood grill and displaying Chef Ramirez' mastery of moles and sauces. Brunch starters include Ensalada de Betabel ($8) a salad made with roasted beets, parsley, spinach, cherry vinegar, pumpkin seeds and pea shoots. Queso Fundido ($9) features Chihuahua cheese fondue with grilled chicken and pickled cactus. The Ceviche ($10) is made with white fish, lime juice, onion, carrots, tomato, serrano pepper, olives, olive oil and cilantro.  Brunch entrées include Enchiladas ($13)-Vegetarian or Chicken Carnitas-with eggs, tomatillo sauce, Chihuahua cheese, black beans and micro greens; Huevos Rancheros ($11), eggs with avocado tomatillo salsa, queso ranchero, chorizo, green beans; Mexican Toast (Ramirez' version of French Toast, $11), made with bread roll, caramel, plantains, pecans and fruit; Cornmeal Pancakes ($11) with fried egg, caramel or agave syrup, plantains and pecans; Huevos Con Chorizo ($10.50) with chorizo, eggs and black beans; Chilaquiles ($10.50) served with tomatillo sauce or guajillo nata sauce, sour cream, and queso fresco. Huevos Motulenos ($10.50), have become a signature brunch item, featuring fried eggs, black beans, molcajete sauce, ham, plantains, queso fresco, and green beans. Chef Ramirez also includes on the brunch menu his highly-praised dinner item, Carne Asada ($18), wood grilled steak accompanied by a crispy corn tortilla topped with black beans, Molcajete sauce, sprinkled with crispy ham and queso ranchero and a side of guacamole. For brunch, he tops the dish with a fried egg.  Side dishes ($3) include White Rice, Black Beans, Mashed Potatoes, Sautéed Vegetables, Plantain. Habanero Salsa is $1.

Artist Arica Hilton: latest film & painting

 

welcome          biography             paintings              exhibitions              press              videos             3d virtual gallery               blog Dear Friends, After many months, I am excited to announce the completion of a short film in my I FLOW LIKE WATER series.  The film recounts my philosophy of bringing nature on canvas.    My studio, along with the Alfred Caldwell Lily Pond in Lincoln Park (Chicago) sets the stage where I find inspiration and demonstrate my painting style while recreating the lily pond on plexiglas. Upon completion, the painting (pictured below) was mounted in a lightbox with LED lights.   A little background on the pond:  Across the street from the Lincoln Park Conservatory, the Alfred Caldwell Lily Pool was designed in the late 1930s by landscape architect Alfred Caldwell. It was a divine venue to become inspired. In Caldwell's signature prairie style (developed through his mentorships with Jens Jensen and Frank Lloyd Wright,) he redesigned an old Victorian pond into a one and a half acre nature sanctuary reminding us of the importance of communing with nature in our lives.  Below is a link to Part One, of a three-part series on water, plastics (Part Two - coming soon) and the evolution of my work.  Thank you all for your support and inspiration...
