September’s Sexiest Date Night: A Baja Wine Dinner With Guest Chef Flor Franco

If you’re looking for the date night to quench a dry spell, then you are in luck my friend.

One of Baja California’s most acclaimed chefs, Flor Franco, will be stirring things up on the stove at PARC Bistro-Brasserie Wednesday, September 20th.
