Former Alma Chef Anastacia Quinones is Now at Komali

I just received a note from former Alma chef Anastacia Quinones. She writes: “Just started at Komali and couldn’t be more excited!”

Quinones says owner/chef Abraham Salum wants to change up the menu a bit. “We want to do three different sections on the menu,” Quinones says. “We are going to do some contemporary dishes, some more familiar dishes but not Tex-Mex, and we’re going some rustic hard core authentic dishes.” I asked her to explain what she meant by contemporary. “I like to do some pretty crazy things,” she said. “My guests at Alma really loved it when I went crazy.” Look for menu changes in “the next few weeks.”

Hmm. Perhaps authentic regional Mexican food isn’t selling as well as we thought. Just curious.
