1570 Ahihi St, an 8-course Fine Dessert Tasting presented by mbezue after six
This tasting is the first in a year-long celebration of my childhood and youth. 1570 Ahihi St was my first childhood home before we began a tour of the mainland and Europe with my dad's career as an officer in the US Army, which eventually brought us here to Michigan. This menu is also a tribute to my late mother, Jeanette Marie Mojica, a former restaurant owner who is my ultimate inspiration and would have been ALL IN for this project!
