Grafton Street invites the Don – Don Julio, that is – to dinner on Thursday, May 4th. The pre-Cinco de Mayo sit-down showcases Mexican fare in five courses with cocktail accompaniments. Chef Adam Rockholt has dishes like grilled corn with cotija and chicken breast with cilantro crema to go with tequila concoctions by bar manager Morgan Carney.
