♥ it's a beautiful day in the barrio.

on thursday night, nicolas and i were fortunate enough to experience barrio,

the pop-up dinner party of which i spoke last week. 

having never been to a pop-up shop, let alone a pop-up restaurant,

i was not sure what to expect. the only thing i knew for sure was that

the food would be creative & delicious. and it certainly was!

we were seated in the kitchen with wheeler del torro's co-chef tim maslow, 

where we had a perfect view of every flourish of the hand, every finishing touch,

 and every good smell that wafted our way. many of the diners were boston bloggers

 i had met at one event or another, (keyse, amanda & christine ) and it was 

lovely to catch up as we ate up :) 

as you can tell by the pictures, the six course meal was artfully prepared

and decadently garnished. and most importantly, they tasted every bit

 as good as they looked! love. love. love.
