Celebrate National Rum Day at MOPHO

Named one of Food & Wine’s 2016 “Best New Chefs in America” Chef Michael Gulotta’s first restaurant, MOPHO, quickly became the star of New Orleans' culinary landscape after being named “Restaurant of the Year” by New Orleans Magazine and a nominee for Bon Appétit’s “Best New Restaurant.” The relaxed, unpretentious eatery is the perfect place to unwind on National Rum Day – particularly with good company! Rising to the occasion, the Mopho Punch mixes light and dark rum, Velvet Falernum, Orange Curaçao, fresh orange, lime, grapefruit, pineapple, and a dash of bitters ($8). The restaurant also offers a number of tasty pho options sure to please the palate. Every Saturday, diners can enjoy a roasted whole hog over pecan wood from the restaurant’s outdoor pit.
