It won't be the same without you two being there (who's going to keep Mikey in line with no Sharon?).

Folks, remain calm...details are coming. Remember, it's all about QUALITY and NOT quantity in life.
remain calm lol, good luck with that...wait til ken wakes up
Ken is awake and has posted his opinion on Facebook (one of the larger time wasters in the universe): but to summarize: The food better be damn good (and I want the chef's name and where he studied and who he cooked with) and the wine list better be VERY extensive. I don't drink crap wine and I don't eat lousy food. That being said, "ala carte" , huh? Oh I forgot, Raul is close to someone in the food biz .

As far as the chef, SHE studied at Johnson & Wales in Charleston and worked at the Peninsula Grille. Look them up. A sample of the Tapoco menus is posted on their Facebook page:

Mikey, I was told the breakfast is a full hot buffet which changes each morning Thurs-Sunday. For dinner (see the link above for details) you get a choice of 4 entrees, which also change nightly, but the rest of the menu is set but you also get dessert choices.

Good. J&W is respectable. I know the Peninsula Grille. Now for the wine list. . (Thanks Sheila) For what is about a $120 daily premium, I certainly hope adult beverages are included

I may have to bow out. $600 is a lot to spend for just myself. I'll wait till the last minute to decide.

Sounds like this one might not be for you.

We are looking at a future event based at the French Laundry. Why don't you wait for that one?

Scooter.... I'm looking at other nearby places also..... $600... and have no option of eating anywhere else.....

Entrees:
Triangoli Ravioli with Roasted Wild Mushroom, Brown Butter Sauce Topped With Crisp Bacon and Green Onions I hate mushrooms..... so this one is out!

Wild Alaskan Salmon With Morels, Thyme and a Touch of Lemon On Spring Pea Risotto hate salmon..... another one out...

Beef Tenderloin With Crispy Polenta, Portobella Mushrooms, Wilted Greens and Pomegranate, Balsamic Vinaigrette ... again,,.. mushrooms.... won't eat it!

Quail Stuffed with Wild Rice, Water Chestnuts, and Apples With Apple Cider Vinegar Emulsion quail... I'm not into that either.... another one out...

This seems like it is going to be a event for people who have lots of cash to burn.... and like weird food!
