About the dish
When I opened Cueva Bar in 2010, there was a french restaurant next door & they had an escargot risotto that I would hear so much about. With the eclectic inspiration from the escargot & the fond memories of my mom's mole risotto, I got to work. Despite never cooking risotto nor scallops before, I received enough positive feedback from the experiments & trials to frequently feature it as a special.
