Welcome to the Gala!
Care to Try a Rangertini? -- A
refreshing blend of Midori and vodka served with a sassy little
melon ball
Open Bar throughout the evening
Red and white wines also served table-side
Reception
Listen to the music of the Camerata, gaze upon the spectacular student
art exhibit,
chat with friends, old and new,
and let our wait staff transport you...
Come to the Land of Savory with sirloin potato crisps, seasoned
just so
Journey across the Mediterranean with authentic, aromatic Spanakopita
Take
a turn toward the Island of Subtle with brie and toasted almonds cradled
in a phyllo cup
Then come on home for coconut chicken dipped in le sauce sur
la côte
Dinner is Served!
Enter the Ballroom (and if the view hasn't left
you breathless)
the salad course awaits you
Delicate greens nestled in an edible, hand-crafted parmesan cup, kissed with
pear slices,
toasted almonds, and then lovingly tossed with a vanilla bean vinaigrette.
The artisan dinner rolls are so jealous of the pears!
Entrée
A chubby chicken roulade pairs with a gold-medal beef medallion to sing a
love song over
roasted garlic mashed potatoes. Cognac cream sauce cascades over all in beautiful
harmony, while the
choir of haricots vert provide the perfect accompaniment.
For Our Vegetarian Friends
So much more than your typical Portobello mushroom, this chic little number
offers
Épinards et fromage de chèvre en peluche
You'll insist on taking Chef Joe home with you
Dessert
Some Would Call it Heaven on Earth
A double layer of double chocolate cake punctuated with a raspberry-chocolate
mousse, invested upon a throne of
raspberry puree, drizzled in chocolate sauce, and embraced by a dollop of
whipped cream--with an edible orchid--just to keep the whipped cream company
Bon Appétit!
