In addition to the monthly menu selections, Chef Gayt\u00e1n also invites leading chefs from M\u00e9xico to join him in the Tzuco kitchen at points throughout the year for special evenings of adventure and collaboration.<\/p>\n<p>In March, the series hits a particularly special note, as Gayt\u00e1n turns to his native state of Guerrero, located in Southwestern M\u00e9xico. His hometown, Huitzuco (translating to \u201cland of abundant thorns\u201d and after which Tzuco is named), is one of the most populated towns in the municipality. Like most other areas of the state, Huitzuco is mountainous and rugged, with flat areas limited to mesas and the Pacific coastline. With history dating back to the 15th century \u2013 and with more than 1700 documented archeological sites \u2013 Guerrero today is home to several indigenous groups, some of which include Mixtecs, Nahuas, Amuzgos and Tlapanecos.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-413102 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/manuel-salinas-l75VxVQrzHY-unsplash-min-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/manuel-salinas-l75VxVQrzHY-unsplash-min-scaled.jpg 800w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/manuel-salinas-l75VxVQrzHY-unsplash-min-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/manuel-salinas-l75VxVQrzHY-unsplash-min-1333x2000.jpg 1333w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/manuel-salinas-l75VxVQrzHY-unsplash-min-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/manuel-salinas-l75VxVQrzHY-unsplash-min-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/manuel-salinas-l75VxVQrzHY-unsplash-min-370x555.jpg 370w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/manuel-salinas-l75VxVQrzHY-unsplash-min-842x1263.jpg 842w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/manuel-salinas-l75VxVQrzHY-unsplash-min-406x609.jpg 406w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/manuel-salinas-l75VxVQrzHY-unsplash-min-600x900.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>Guerrero is rife with mountains, caves and wild areas. These comprise many of Carlos\u2019 earliest memories a boy. He describes days-long hiking and camping trips with his family, where together, they would hunt, forage and live from the land. Fishing in Ixtapa, Zihuatanejo, Acapulco and other coastal cities \u2013 where sports fishing remains popular today \u2013 was always an adventure, and would yield catches suited for grilling, roasting, raw preparations and more.<\/p>\n<p>Available March 1-30, Chef Gayt\u00e1n\u2019s Guerrero menu items call upon the land and that of his own life\u2019s journey. Menu highlights include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Tortitas de Camar\u00f3n: Shrimp and lemongrass cake, tomato and guajillo salsa, rice chicharron and cactus relish.<\/li>\n<li>Quail: Stuffed quail with homemade chorizo, dates, and pickled jalapenos, egg wash huazontles, tomato and roasted red pepper sauce and greens<\/li>\n<li>Pescado en Mole Verde: Seabass filet, Nejo tamale, creamy zucchini, mole verde, and pickled red onion<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_413100\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-413100\" style=\"width: 1128px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-413100\" src=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/unnamed-2.jpg\" alt=\"tzuco interior\" width=\"1128\" height=\"752\" srcset=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/unnamed-2.jpg 1128w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/unnamed-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/unnamed-2-391x260.jpg 391w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/unnamed-2-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/unnamed-2-842x561.jpg 842w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/unnamed-2-406x271.jpg 406w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/unnamed-2-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1128px) 100vw, 1128px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-413100\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image Credit: Tzuco<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Woodwork, pottery, palm front weaving and textiles are predominant artistic expressions in Guerrero, but perhaps none is more prevalent than painting using traditional amate, or bark paper, as canvas. Tzuco\u2019s March menu design was inspired by this direction, as well as the area\u2019s natural elements, and brought to life by Guerrerense artist Asher Miranda.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis series and the Guerrero menu are very special to me,\u201d said Chef Gayt\u00e1n. \u201cWhen I think about my youth, our family\u2019s journey was not always easy, but my happiest memories are the times hiking, foraging, fishing and hunting together and cooking what we caught. My mother, Do\u00f1a Tete, could make anything. I learned early in life deep gratitude for the abundance of the earth and its ability to keep us nourished. To recreate some of these dishes in my own way at Tzuco \u2013 it\u2019s a way of honoring where I come from while also celebrating how far I have come.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Featured Image: Tzuco<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As he continues to champion the culture and cuisine of his homeland, Chef Carlos Gayt\u00e1n and the team at River North\u2019s esteemed Tzuco (720 N.
