Eat Me Speak Me at Gato

Friday, July 3, 2015

Last Friday I got the opportunity to head down to Gato to check out the weekly offerings from Eat Me Speak Me, the brain child of chef Jarrett Stieber. Gato can only seat around 22 or so people at a time but the seats are coveted. The menu changes each week allowing for fresh ingredients and ideas.
