It's been a long time since the last post - but I wanted to share another charity dinner set that we hosted last night. The dinner was auctioned a few months ago to support Cincinnati Children's Hospital. The last one we did was such a success, that there were two groups of people in a bidding war for this one. The charity event director approached me that night and asked if each group paid the high bid would I be willing to host two. I said of course I would! This is the first of the two dinners. Here's the menu and then some pictures to follow:
- A simple charcuterie board to go with the wine/beer/cocktails the guests were served upon arrival.
- Roasted beet salad with Humboldt Fog, arugula, and reduced balsamic
- Scallops with caramelized brussel sprouts and a black truffle vinaigrette
- Glazed short ribs served over boursin cheese mashed potatoes and carrots
- Spice cake with a pumpkin spice cream cheese whipped cream and candied walnuts served on top of caramel syrup
Everyone had a really nice time and I got my 'playing restaurant' fix!
Thanks,
Joe
