Koo Zee Doo was a Portuguese-inspired BYOB located in Fishtown that opened in 2009. The menu inspired by Goncalves mother’s recipes, with the couple adding their own direction and twist to the recipes. At Koo Zee Doo, Goncalves was famous for her pastry, desserts and breads. She will make all the bread and pastry for this special one-night only event – as she does for Cry Baby Pasta. Koo Zee Doo, a phonetic spelling of “cozido,” is the Portuguese word for cooked. Don’t miss this one-night only event!
