It’s messy, this Tomatina festival. Not the one being celebrated at Flamenco! . . . the Studio on Saturday, August 22, but rather the traditional version celebrated in Spain, which involves the throwing of tomatoes at revelers who attend. Flamenco! has re-imagined the festival’s traditions by hosting a cook-off at which attendees will toss tomatoes not at one another but rather into a Cuisinart. The La Tomatina Gazpacho Cook-off will be judged by chefs from Havana Café, NoRTH, and Avalon restaurants, with the winner taking away $50 and, presumably, a lot of leftover gazpacho. But even those who don’t take home a prize will get to enjoy live flamenco music, dancing, and a traditional tapas menu.
Reservations are required, as are registrations from those hoping to take home the “Best Gazpacho” prize.
Sat., Aug. 22, 7-10 p.m., 2009
Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $17,250 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
