Soco, the Southern contemporary restaurant in downtown Orlando’s Thornton Park, is observing its one-year mark with a special dinner on Tuesday, November 17, with seatings from 6 until 9 p.m. Chef/partner Greg Richie has invited Anres Mendoza of Norman’s at the Ritz-Carlton and Henry Salgado of Spanish River Grill in New Smyrna Beach (and formerly of Txokos Basque Kitchen at the East End Market) to join him in the kitchen. They will present a collaborative five-course menu for $75 per person with a cocktail/wine pairing option of $35.
Reservations are a good idea. Make them by calling 407-849-1800. Soco is at 629 E. Central Blvd., Orlando.
