Back when La Sirena Clandestina was just slightly more than a twinkle in our eye, we did a pop up at what was then Dodo and soon to be this mermaid shack. Our patron saint Frank Orrall (a.k.a. "the dandy bitch"), whom we’ve certainly mentioned before, composed the following ode as an announcement of our pop up plans.
That weekend has come and gone, but the lines remain as close to a manifesto as we’ll ever have, because it speaks to what we strive to provide for each and every customer that walks through our doors. And we hope it encapsulates why you all just keep coming back for more. Read on for entertainment, inspiration and sublime phrasing:
Expect to be in the company of
Dames / Proper Broads with good taste,
& reasonably honorable Gentleman Scoundrels...
All in the trusted hands of our beloved and noble sea captain,
who's true helm is the kitchen...
plotting a culinary course for Brazil, Argentina and uncharted waters beyond...
There will be sit down dinner, music, drinks and loud conversation.
The night will most likely be filled with rough
and tumble restaurant folks...
So you know it will be lusty / gutsy and good.
There will be bold flavors and
peoples teeth will be wine stained.
It will be delicious but it may not end pretty for those
with a weak constitution and a flabby liver :):)
if things go right... some unlucky guests
will go home missing a shoe... or a belt loop or two...
but their dreams will be rich and adventuresome.
- Frank Orrall (AKA Dandy Jack Quimby)
