It's going to be a good year. <p>We're particularly excited about the chef for the first event (April 8th in a glorious American city TBD). Patrón will reveal the details tomorrow on the <a href="http://f.curbed.cc/f/Patron_Eater_SP_033111_USE">Patrón Social Club</a>, but for now, let us just say that this chef is a James Beard Award and Iron Chef challenge winner. Bravo, Patron!</p> <p>If you're not a member of the Social Club, <a href="http://f.curbed.cc/f/ENY_Patron_SP_033111_USE">sign up</a> by 3:30 pm tomorrow to be informed if you're near the event location. And once the announcement is made, you'll have three days to answer a riddle for a chance to win seats at the table.</p> <p>Remember, only Patrón Social Club members will be eligible to win seats at the event. So go on, <a href="http://f.curbed.cc/f/ENY_Patron_SP_033111_USE">sign up today</a>. And if you're already a member, we recommend getting further acquainted with the contents of the site, where the riddle answers will reside. <br><img src="http://altfarm.mediaplex.com/ad/tr/13144-125133-20692-5?mpt=<?php%20echo%20rand();%20?>" border="0"><img src="http://f.curbed.cc/p/Patron_Eater_SP_033111_TEST.gif?" height="1" width="1" border="1"></p>
