After a .5 mile drive that was Easy Like Sunday Morning, we arrived to our soon to be married friends' home for an international feast! We knew the theme of the evening upon being greeted by twin silver Honda Civics...Pairs Well.
Upon arrival Executive Chef Allan Howe "a self-trained master of all things culinary," and Sous Chef Rebecca Dillingham, started us off with the first pair of the evening - prosciutto and cantaloupe, yes I said prosciutto and cantaloupe. This paired nicely with the white sangria complete with bites of peach, pineapple and melon. This was an international pairing not hailing from the Motherland or the Homeland, but from the lower class Euro trash - Italy and Spain.
As expected, Rebecca, the queen of competition, attempted to gain the upper hand in what has become the Tour de Kitchens cook off by serenading the bachelorettes with the tunes from the kings de soul.
This pair of 80s pop icons set the mood as we transitioned to the main course with Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough playing in the background. The seared tuna with homemade honey Dijon was "an epic entree that is sure to provide a taste bud explosion with each savory bite" and that it did.
Speaking of African-Americans...the best pair of the evening was our gracious host, Michael Buble, and hostess, some random, homeless woman we found by Dairy Queen. Amazingly, she resembled Sous Chef Rebecca Dillingham, known for being "excellent at following cooking instructions on any and all pre-packaged frozen entrees." Here's the happy couple now:
The final pairing of the evening was the NY classic dessert "from a nationally recognized dessert chain (that shall remain nameless) brought in especially for this momentous occasion," the Dulce de Leche and Key Lime cheesecakes. Ongelooflike! (Zimbawean for Incredible!)
So glad y'all enjoyed the theme and evening - it was truly our pleasure to serve you!! Lionel and Michael also had a great time and asked for y'all to come back soon - maybe say during a tour de kitchens cook-off?
ReplyDeleteAnd is it just me or has Michael Buble been working out? :)
"NY classic dessert 'from a nationally recognized dessert chain'"... looks like somebody took the easy way out. My homemade dessert required a blow torch! Just sayin'... :)
