Hot Stones at Mirador de Cerro Gordo? I immediately had a vision of Kevin, strutting around with his elbows and chest sticking out, making his lips as big as possible, and singing Brown Sugar. As we know, the man has a bit of form for being somewhat of a songster!
But no… Alix assures me there is little or no strutting or singing involved. Although slightly disappointed, I ask her to enlighten me.
It is, in fact, a return to the delicious Hot Stone meals, where you are served with a large and very hot stone (hence the name maybe?), upon which you can place all manner of fresh meat and fish, allowing it to cook to perfection before your very eyes!
This used to be an extremely popular evening, and there was much disappointment when they were stopped. Mainly due to Kevin’s arms looking like they belonged to Popeye from all the lifting, and also that those same arms suffered more burns than a poetry evening in Glasgow on any given 25th January!
But here we have a man willing to suffer for his art (well, mainly because Alix says he has to), so take your hunger pains up to the Mirador and get them stoned on any given Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday evening.
There will also be Thai nights and the odd Flamenco evening in the coming weeks and months, so give them a ring to find out more.
Lastly… if you want any chance at all of a Mirador Christmas meal or even a Christmas meal in a box, you’d better get on that phone quick!
