Chef David Dworshak prepared Negra Modelo-braised beef sopes—the caramel and hops flavors of the beer serving as a perfect foil for the beef and tamarind in the dish. Guest chef Dirk Flanigan of the upcoming Il Coniglio paired Negra Modelo's notes of toasted barley with his "smoking steak tartare," which featured raw shallots, poached garlic, toasted capers, and crisp rice. To top the evening off, guests enjoyed a special Negra Modelo michelada cocktail. Check out the entire mouth-watering gallery above, and make your own daring pairings with Negra Modelo. >> 
Last night, Eater and Negra Modelo joined forces for Daring Pairings at Takito Kitchen. Eater readers enjoyed bites that spanned multiple culinary cultures, and all paired perfectly with Negra Modelo.
