""Music and food are everything to me," said Parche owner and culinary director, Paul Iglesias."
""The first one we're honoring is Shakira. She's from Barranquilla, so we wanted to pair the idea of the Atlantic Ocean and flowing music and dancing," Iglesias said."
""Colombia is one of those countries where I think there is a lot of joy in what we do and there's a lot of pride and the way we shot it is though song and dance and food," said Iglesias."
""I wanted to honor the jaguar which the natives considered like a god," Iglesias said."
Parche in Uptown Oakland offers music-themed pairing menus for Hispanic Heritage Month featuring Shakira, Bomba Stereo, Celia Cruz and Bad Bunny. Owner and culinary director Paul Iglesias pairs Colombian-inspired dishes with musical artists, reimagining traditional recipes using California ingredients. Dishes include a Shakira-themed ceviche reimagined as a shrimp cocktail with tomato leche de tigre and a green mango sorbet called aguita de mango. The Santa Marta ceviche uses trout in a mango leche de tigre topped with crispy salmon skin and a calamari aioli arranged to resemble jaguar skin. Empanadas are inspired by ajiao, evoking home-cooked flavors.
