tortillapresschef2On Wednesday, May 18th, in Collingswood, New Jersey, 3 chefs and 4 restaurants will host the fourth annual Haddon Avenue Restaurant Crawl.

 

All located on the same block in downtown Collingwood, the four restaurants will each feature one course from a four-course menu; and guests will walk from one restaurant to the other. The restaurants featured are West Side Gravy, which will host the appetizer; El Sitio, which will host the soup/salad course; the Tortilla Press, which will serve the entrée; and, finally, Blackbird, which will feature dessert. Guests must reserve to participate and will be checked in with wristbands at West Side Gray where the Crawl will commence.

 

“We’ve done this three times and each Crawl gets more popular,” notes Tortilla Press chef/owner Mark Smith. “We all offer such different foods, such different dining experiences – it’s impossible not to have fun while you combine all these different flavors in one evening.”

 

Chef Alex Capasso, who owns both West Side Gravy and Blackbird calls the evening “A different and unique gourmet experience. This is the most unique way to hold an old-fashioned progressive dinner… and to take the old pub crawl concept and make it our own.”

 

Here’s a rundown of the menu…
