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!
