About Evan Percoco

As a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, the country's premier culinary learning laboratory, Executive Chef Evan Percoco has forged a career based on a bold, creative approach to American cuisine and the great range the best in his craft require.  He has dazzled the palates of presidents, royalty and rock stars, each receiving the type of personal attention that has become his trademark. It is this element that led to his selection as Resident Chef of Saudi Arabian Prince Khalid Al-Faisal at the consul's estate in Washington DC, and Executive Chef at the Hard Rock Hotel in Orlando, catering to Rock & Roll royalty.  It was during his run at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington DC, where he met Lou Carrier. The two formed a creative partnership that led to some of the most successful food and beverage concepts at the Mayflower, Loews Hotels and Hard Rock Hotels. Evan recalls, "When Lou called to say there was an opportunity to work together again doing something 'very different' in Boston, I was all over it!" The result: BOKX 109 American Prime.

Recipe

Ingredients

Ancho Chile-Chocolate BBQ Sauce

  • 2 tbsp ancho chile powder (from 2 pods of dried ancho chilies, lightly roasted then seeded & chopped) or store-purchased ancho chile powder
  • 2 tbsp cocoa nibs
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 cups BBQ sauce (your favorite type)

How-to

  1. Roast ancho chilies at 350º for 2 minutes just to soften them.  Then remove stem and seeds and chop, working quickly before chilies harden. Or you can use store-purchased ancho chile powder
  2. In a saucepan over medium heat, add butter and cocoa nibs and slowly pan roast the cocoa nibs until aromatic and smelling like brownies and mixture gets foamy
  3. Add the ancho chilies and your favorite BBQ sauce. Simmer about 15 minutes, place in a blender and puree until a smooth consistency is achieved
