Meet Derek Serrano - CDC at Mi Tocaya Antojería in Chicago.
His Lineup dinner, like his career, is a love letter to his grandmother’s cooking.
“I cook simple food, straightforward, to the heart, just the way my grandmother did.”

If you got a ticket to Derek’s dinner (11/5), we cant wait for you to meet him and try his food. While his dinner is currently sold out, there is a waitlist on the Resy event page (link in bio). Stay tuned for more content about him and our other Lineup Chicago chefs.

A collection of some favorite moments from my Portrait Pop-ups as of late! If you see yourself please tag💕 I think I’ve unlocked some new pop-up venues this year including beach, arcades, shuffle board club, sculpture park, and a backyard talent show?!? There were some nights I ran to the club after drawing and days I did three B2B2B events, but I regret none of it 😌

Ever so grateful to everyone who always invite & host me at your events and spaces. Here’s to more cute portraits to be produced for the upcoming seasons ahead 😘💋

These are the 5 tacos that live in my head rent-free, from an Uptown tasting menu to a West Loop meetup to a date night in Fort Lauderdale. The full lineup is in the reel. Ok so maybe there’s 6. You’re welcome

Which taco can’t you stop thinking about? Save this for your next taco run. Or even better, make ME a list and share it with me 🙏😎

Happy National Taco Day 🌮 ( also shout out to @emjaya my taco partner 4 Lyfe, they just taste better when you’re around pooky😘)

I was SO excited and really wanted to love this iconic burrito but it was wayyy too spicy for me 😔 I definitely want to go back and try something else on the menu though because everything I saw around me looked so delicious! #yum
