Celebrate Three Kings Day with Roscón de Reyes at Jaleo & Spanish Diner

Día de Reyes, or Three Kings Day, is inspired by the story of the Three Wise Men – Melchor, Gaspar, and Baltasar – who brought gifts to the baby Jesus in the days after he was born. In Spain, this holiday is celebrated with even more excitement (at least by children!) than Christmas, as it’s the day when kids receive gifts and eat Roscón de Reyes. Chef José’s Roscón de Reyes is flavored with orange blossom, caramelized cherries, oranges, melon, and almonds. Choose between with or without whipped cream when placing your order. Each Roscón de Reyes has a “Rey” (king) figurine baked inside. Whoever finds the King is said to have good luck for the rest of the year! Jaleo and Spanish Diner are offering Roscón de Reyes, with both restaurants selling cakes for pick-up at the restaurant on January 4th, 5th and 6th. $45-$50 per cake. Order from Jaleo (www.jaleo.com/dia-de-reyes) or Spanish Diner (spanishdiner.com/three-kings-day). To note: On January 6th, Spanish Diner will also sell the cake by the slice and have free hot chocolate for kids from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.!
