Local couple to open Mexican restaurant

Look out Big Sky, authentic Mexican food is headed this way.
Locals Brenda and Alberto Godoy are opening a restaurant in the Town Center, in the space recently vacated by El Patron. They are working to renovate the space this spring, and plan to hire all new staff for Alberto’s.
Originally from Mexico City, Alberto moved from St. Anthony, Idaho eight years ago during the construction boom, and Brenda followed with their two children soon after.
“I love to cook, and I think Big Sky needs Mexican cuisine from a Mexican person,” said Alberto, who previously owned and ran a restaurant in Idaho.
“American people are used to Tex-Mex food, so I want to please them [with] that, but slowly introduce our dishes from Mexico City.”
One such dish, Pambazo, is torta bread dipped in chile and fried with chorizo and potato mixture in the middle, then topped with lettuce sour cream and green salsa. It’s become a favorite of houseguests at the Godoy’s, and they say it’s a classic in Mexico City.
“We are very excited,” Alberto said. “It’s been my dream and now it’s happening thanks to a lot of people behind us.”
They’ve hired local help for interior design and marketing, and said they’ve received advice from many business owners in the area. The plan is to make Alberto’s affordable for everyone, with most expensive plate set at $16, said Brenda, who many know from her years working at the post office.
Alberto will work as the chef, and with Brenda leading the front of the house, the couple is looking to hire about nine staff.
The official opening date is set for July 1, but they’ll likely open the doors beforehand, Brenda said, serving food from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. They’re waiting to hear back from the state about their liquor license before setting the bar hours.

We all are familiar with using a limited palette, but do you use one? Do you know how to use a limited palette to create different color combinations? Are you tired of carrying around 15-20 different tubes when you paint plein air? Have you ever wanted to create a certain “mood” in a painting but failed? Do you create a lot of mud? Do you struggle to achieve color harmony? All these problems are addressed in John’s workbook in clear and concise language!
Based on the bestselling “Limited Palatte, Unlimited Color” workbook written by John Pototschnik, the workshop is run by Maggie Shane and Annie McCoy, accomplished landscape (acrylic) and plein air (oil) artists,exhibitors at the Big Sky Artists’ Studio & Gallery and members of the Big Sky Artists Collective.
Each student will receive a copy of “Limited Palette, Unlimited Color” to keep and take home to continue your limited palette journey. We will show you how to use the color wheel and mix your own clean mixtures to successfully create a mood for your paintings.
Each day, we will create a different limited palette color chart and paint a version of a simple landscape using John’s directives. You will then be able to go home and paint more schemes using the book for guidance.
Workshop is open to painters (oil or acrylic) of any level although students must have some basic knowledge of the medium he or she uses. Students will be provided the book ($92 value), color wheel, value scale and canvas papers to complete the daily exercises.
