The Alhambra is a palace and fortress complex located on a natural acropolis on the Iberian Peninsula overlooking the city of Granada in Spain’s Andalusia region. The Alhambra Palace stands out as one of the most famous examples of Moorish architecture, and perhaps it is the most well known Muslim construction of all. The name Alhambra comes from Arabic word which means “Red or crimson castle.” Created originally for military purposes, The Alhambra was an “alcazaba” (fortress), an “alcázar” (place) and a small “medina” (city), all in one. It was the residence of Muslim kings of Granada and their court, and a renaissance palace during the Holy Roman Empire, thereby providing a unique mixture of architectural and decorating styles, marriage of the Mediterranean and Middle East. The greatest concern of the architects of the Alhambra was to cover every single space w/decoration, no matter the size of the space and decorative element was enough. The Moors left their greatest mark in the region of Andalusia. Here you will fi nd a cuisine rich with examples of Arab culinary infl uence. Spices, ingredients, cooking techniques mingled to create a new cuisine. The Moors introduced the cultivation of rice, now a staple food, fi gs and citrus fruits, peaches and bananas and many of the Middle Eastern spices, including cumin, aniseed, and sugar, which are used much in Iberian cooking today. The Marriage of both Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines has developed through time-honored practice, patience, and tradition, passed down from one generation to another. Food is a fundamental part of the regions heritage and culture; the ingredients refl ect their geography of their homeland while savoring the colors and accents of the aesthetic tastes of both the Mediterranean and Middle East. The cuisines are associated with many social events -births, anniversaries, and weddings; the culinary traditions are, intertwined with regions history and religion.

The Loop es un circuito ferroviario elevado que forma la central nerviosa del Metro de Chicago en Chicago, Illinois. El Loop lleva su nombre debido a que circula en una forma rectangular alrededor de Lake Street, Avenida Wabash, Van Buren Street, y Wells Street . Las partes en sus alrededor también es conocida como The Loop. Numerosos informes afirman que el uso de este término data a antes del ferrocarril elevado, derivándose de múltiples trolebuses, o circuitos, que terminaban en el distrito, y en especial los de dos líneas que compartían un circuito, construido en 1882, y que limitada por las calles Madison, Wabash, Estado y Lake.Sin embargo, después de una extensa investigación sobre el tema, el historiador de transporte Bruce Moffat llegó a la conclusión de que "el circuito" no era utilizado como un nombre propio si no que empezó a usarse después de la construcción entre 1895–97 del ferrocarril elevado.OperacionesEl Loop incluye 9 estaciones: Clark/Lake y State/Lake están en la parte norte; Randolph/Wabash, Madison/Wabash, y Adams/Wabash están en el lado este; Library y LaSalle/Van Buren están en el lado sureste; y Quincy y Washington/Wells están en el lado oeste. En 2009 20,086,763 pasajeros entraron por estas vías.

In the fresh air, he studied produce seasonality and selection, heightening his respect for each individual ingredient. From there, he took his first kitchen job at a private country club and developed his skills in catering large-scale events, upwards of 5000 guests. Paired with knowledge of event planning from his uncle, Chuck Share, owner of the upscale Wedding Inc. and his love for cooking, Jordan found he could succeed in planning and catering large events with the feel of intimate fine dining. Jordan linked up with Gordon’s renowned chef, Don Yamaguchi, beginning the lessons that would refine his culinary capabilities. With a desire to continue his epicurean education, Jordan headed to the Culinary Institute of America in New York. There he polished his technique, style, and presentation among America’s culinary new guard. Returning after graduation to his hometown of Chicago he worked at Le Francais and Charlie Trotter’s while catering private parties on Chicago’s North Shore for friends and family. Jordan longed for a space of his own to plan and create intimate events. After stumbling upon a loft-like space Jordan, the entrepreneur, created a new style of private dining. This space includes a fully exposed show kitchen, no walls and an original 126-year-old wrought iron window separating the dining room and showing off the cleanliness of the dish area. Nothing to hide was the goal. Today Jordan is owner and executive chef of Jordan’s Food of Distinction. ***** Please email us today for a FREE event planning consultation @ [email protected]******
