What I Ate: SA Restaurant Week, Alamo City Provisions and then some

Growing up means not watching the MTV VMA's and instead going to a ridiculously fabulous dinner. At least it does for this gal. I capped off a week's worth of San Antonio Restaurant Week meals (you can check out extensions here) by attending Alamo City Provisions' first dinner of the fall inside the Josephine Theatre put on by Inspired Occasions founder Elise Broz (pastry chef at Biga on the Banks), John Russ (Lüke San Antonio River Walk), Pieter Sypesteyn (Where Y'at food truck and the upcoming Cookhouse), Michael Sohocki (Restaurant Gwendolyn, Kimura) along with Diego Galicia, Rico Torres and Jesse Torres of Mixtli. The 1920's Prohibition Era-themed feast, held inside the theater's lobby, included music by the Doc Watkins Trio and a brief presentation by the chefs on where they drew inspiration from for their dishes. Details for the four remaining dinners, held at various locales throughout SA, can be found at alamocityprovisions.com.
