I most recently met Gary covering his QSAC benefit. It was a fabulous event and he is a fabulous Producer. I decided to ask Gary where is his favorite place to eat! His favorite dish is from Camino Sur (next door to the Zipper Theater)
The dish is called Post Negra which is:
short ribs braised with panela, cinnamon, cloves red wine,
with celery root puree.

Thank you, Gary!
