A PRIVATE EVENING WITH CHEF TODD ENGLISH

Thanks to the Chase Inside Access program, some gal pals and I attended the "A Private Evening with Chef Todd English" event earlier this week at The Plaza Food Hall. This exclusive experience included a wine and hors d'oeuvres reception and pasta demonstration by Chef English followed by a family-style dinner - plus a signed cookbook. The wine was flowing, the food was plentiful, and we had such a fun time!

The menu for the evening




Goat Cheese Ravioli with Roasted Baby Beets and Walnut Pesto
 Beautiful looking, but, sadly, didn't taste nearly as good as it looked



Flatbread Pizza with Portobello, Fontina, Truffle Vinaigrette
Delicious!



Chicken Parmesan Sliders with Roasted Tomato Sauce,
Mozzarella Cheese, Shaved Romaine, Balsamic Vinaigrette

These were surprisingly 'meh,' and the Prime Rib sliders
that followed were disappointing also.


I didn't get any photos of the dessert table, but there was an array of mini red velvet cupcakes, chocolate chip cookies, and freshly made whipped cream - they were all yummy!

Although the food was hit or miss, the overall event was an absolute success. A good time was had by all, and I hope Inside Access offers another foodie-friendly event soon!
