Chef Hector Santiago returns to the kitchen at The Sound Table tonight for another round of his Peruvian-Chinese pop-up, Chifa Capon. Best known for his Pura Vida, Super Pan, and El Burro Pollo concepts in Poncey-Highland, Santiago has hosted a series of pop-up dinners at The Sound Table and other spots since stepping down as executive chef at Abattoir in Sept. 2014.
On the Chifa Capon menu, look for the likes of pan-seared pork and shrimp dumplings, chicken wings chicharron, and quinoa fried rice with head-on Florida shrimp.
