• So Full!

  Our MMH Class just finished an 8 course gourmet formal dinner put on by 6 of our classmates who have at one time or another were chefs or have been trained in a gourmet kitchen (one of which has been a candidate on Top Chef). But man oh man am I stuffed! We held the event in the Statler Hotel Terrace Dining room and were served by student waitstaff that were so perfectly trained that I wanted to leave a great big tip! We paid $35 for the meal to cover ingredient costs and I'd have to admit that I have never had a meal so good for that small amount of money.
  
  It was essentially a success from the get go because: Good chefs ==> Good food + Good wine + Good company ==> Good Times. The meal lasted for 3 hours for god's sake but it went by so fast because we all were enjoying the conversations and the food/wine.
