The chefs stood on these little platforms in front of huge signs with their pictures on them. As the announcer went around introducing them, a light from underneath would shine right into their faces. It was kind of funny.
They were nice enough to let everyone snap photos of them. I introduced myself to Peter Clark, the guy representing New England, my region!
A few people spoke, including our host Katie Lee, who introduced the judges.
There's really not too much else to say except to say that the food was all fantastic. Fresh seafood, hors d'oeuvres created by local restaurants, risotto, bruschetta, home-cured meats, high quality cheese, local wines, and on and on and on. Bryan and I had tons of fun going around and just tasting everything (and snapping pictures too, of course!)
But really, words do no justice. Here are some pictures!
That raw bar looks incredible!
ReplyDeleteAwesome reception. VIP indeed!
ReplyDeleteI love receptions of this sort. And in Napa, you really get the best of the best! Hope you sipped on some of that Domaine Chandon sparkling wine!
