Hot Dates: “Harvest” Wine Dinner at Asador on Friday, June 28

Yes, I know Asador is located in a hotel near downtown that no one but conventioneers think of, but stay with me here for a moment. The last time I visited, I really liked the place. Good food, creative menu, spot-on service, cool vibe, lots of fresh, local produce and meats. On Friday, June 28, Asador is hosting what they’re calling a Harvest Dinner, even though it’s not quite, you know, Harvest. Regardless, here’s what’s up, cut-and-pasted from the release, with the Dishes Still Capitalized:
