Manny Barella, a Top Chef alum and co-owner of Riot BBQ , is bringing his talents to Littleton's Palenque Cocina y Agavería for another pop-up dinner. The four-course dinner pairing on August 19 is a follow-up to a sold-out pop-up Barella hosted at Palenque earlier this year; this time, he's teaming up with chef, mezcal expert and cookbook author Danny Mena.

“Palenque introduced me to Danny Mena and we decided to shoot for 125 to 150 attendees for the event, which is huge for a paired dinner,” Barella recounts. “Bringing together barbecue with mezcal just makes sense because of the smoke flavor profiles of both elements.”

According to Barella, the event is almost sold out, which is impressive when considering his last sold-out pop-up at Palenque was capped at fifty people.
