Holy Mole
A salute to Latin American heritage and a joy-fest for taste buds of all origins,
Mole to Die For is back for its 12th annual tasting contest and party at the Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts. The event centers on a cooking competition featuring an assortment of homemade mole recipes. (Chiles, spices, tomatoes, seeds, onions, and — notably, but not always — chocolate are ingredients of the various versions of the dark, rich Mexican sauce.) Attendees will taste the entries and vote on the winners, who will receive cash prizes. The evening will also include DJ sets, special performances, drinks, community camaraderie, and a chance to view MCCLA’s Day of the Dead exhibition. Guests can purchase a plate of food to accompany the mole sauces.
