This Saturday night after he closes the kitchen, chef Daniel Desir will clear the back dining room and burn the floor at his West Rogers Park restaurant Kizin Creole. Kizin is Chicago’s only Haitian restaurant, so it’s a good thing that only means he’ll be dancing—more specifically, offering the first of four weekly konpa classes leading up to the restaurant’s sixth annual Taste of Haiti festival, on Saturday, September 28.

“I used to hate it,” he says, but he’ll drink it every once in awhile now—he knows it’s good for him.
