Another upcoming food event is the traditional Mole dinner at Dos Perros in Durham. When you hear traditional Mexican food, you might think one of two thoughts- 1) I have no idea what that menu entails because I have never been to Mexico or 2) Yeah, right, every bean from a can Mexican restaurant says that. Dos Perros is definitely the exception. They are serving up Mexican dishes that are representative of regions of Mexico and that honor the culture therein. This dinner is an homage to mole and the sweet, spicy, chocolate, rich pepper flavor it brings to your palate. Get your tickets now for this delicious upcoming event.
