No Lunch Today: Friday, Dec. 14

Sorry, folks! Unfortunately, but fortunately for us, we’re crazy busy! ‘Tis the season!!

Thanks for bearing with us last week. We’re back in Guisado business with:

  • Vegetable guisado (vegan – with tomatoes, celery, carrots)
  • Chicken guisado. (People have been calling me about this, so we keep making it!)

 

One-Night Only! Guisado-Tasting Party at LBM!

On Monday, Oct. 22, 6-9 pm, We’re having a one-night only Guisado-tasting party. Sample any of four guisados free with purchase of any of Lunacy Black Market’s wines.

  • Pork with green and red peppers, carrots, celery and sweet and sour sauce. This one’s a little spicy…
  • Mushroom guisado whole garlic cloves and tomato. For our vegan friends.
  • Boneless dark meat chicken with potatoes, roasted peppers, olives.
  • Shrimp diablo. We’re not sure how exactly we’re cooking this, but it’s a tasting after all!

Oops! We bit off more than we can chew!!

Mama Luna says I need to siesta!

Creative Loafing announced this week that we’d be open around lunchtime (and correctly–thank you, CL!), except here’s the thing: With us being open for dinners and still processing your Guisado pick-up & take-away orders (thank you, customers!), my mama says we need some kind of siesta! (And I’m still hunting for a good home for Guisado Caliente. Some things are shaping up, too–so stay tuned!)

Given the fun we had last week around lunchtime, we will be open for lunch sit-down or pick-up on Fridays (only) between 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Again, we will not be open at lunchtime on Wednesday and Thursday (because my mama said so).

Still if you want to pick-up a Guisado on Wednesday, Thursday or Friday, you can between 6 and 7 p.m. Please call 48 hours in advance and we will prepare it fresh for you. Visit here for the menu of options.

Cash only.

How to Describe Guisado?

The delicious stew that’s more meal than soup, and more soup than meal…

Its generous distribution of vegetable and/or meat have you chewing each spoonful—or maybe you want to eat all those goodies with a fork?

Every self-respecting guisado-aficionado—because that’s what you now realize you are—must have rice!

And that sauce.

That’s when you reach for the spoon again and begin to ponder, “maybe this is a stew, after all.” No. It’s not quite either, because your rice is still holding up against your fork.

It’s just … guisado! And it’s so good!

Available in Atlanta at Lunacy Black Market—made by self-described guisado-apasionados, Laura London and chef Paul Luna, of course.
