if you need a sign to dine out tomorrow, this is it. 💙
tomorrow is which means when you eat with us or any of the 40+ participating spots, part of your check goes to .
we thought this very important event deserved a nata special, so we made:
BROWNIE MARY NATA
pastel de nata filled w/ brownie batter & dark chocolate chunks, chocolate fudge cremeux, choco crumble
this nata is inspired by brownie mary, a real-life aids advocate and legend who baked and distributed cannabis brownies to aids patients during the epidemic in the 80s and made a huge impact on a lot of people.
please watch the video, learn her story, then come eat at a participating dining out for life restaurant in her honor.
available TOMORROW ONLY until sell out.
and no, the natas don’t have cannabis in them.
