Events Eat a Great Meal. Help out ALF.
Posted by Chris Chamberlain on Thu, Sep 3, 2009 at 1:07 PM
The format of the evening sounds fascinating. Fifteen of Nashville's culinary professionals will participate as contestants in a culinary competition. Each chef offers their signature cuisine to a limited number of guests in an intimate setting. The chef prepares a five-course dinner of their own creation, with complementary wines for a table of 10 guests. The big surprise is that the guest does not know which chef will be preparing their meal until the night of the event. Each chef designs their table settings to reflect their cuisine and personal flair using their own china, silver, crystal, and centerpiece.
After a cocktail reception, silent and live auction and this gustatory gala, the attendees will vote to award the prestigious People's Choice Prize. It's not a cheap ticket at $250, but for a great meal for a great cause, consider it an investment in the future health of your liver.
