Wined & Dined..

Okay.. not so much "wine" but a lot of the "dine" part..
I guess part of the perks of the new business, is stuff like this happening...
Tonight, we were invited to eat at Zucca, a very yummy, and pretty new restaurant in our area. I have been there a couple of times myself, and loved it! (Mmmmm.. two words: MARGHERITA PIZZA..) So, when we were invited tonight, I was game.
Driving there (less than 5 minutes away), the thought came to me, we might not be picking what we were eating this evening..
I was spot on..
The Executive Chef had planned our authentic 7 (seven) course meal.
Wow...
We started off with a wine list, which we passed on :)
We were served a non-alcoholic peach Bellini (yummmmm).
We each enjoyed some of Evan's margherita pizza (see the drool marks above..) and then the rest of our courses followed.. all yummy.. I didn't so much care for the pictured dish.. I am not that big of a seafood fan.. Dixon and Merrill sure licked it up..
I also had Veal for the first time.. it was very tasty.
Now imagine this: 5 different desserts, beautifully plated, ready for me!!! Okay, not all for me, but we did pass them all around (counterclockwise so I would get Merrill's molten chocolate truffle cake first...) and got to sample them all!
Heaven!!!
What an experience... the best staff were there, to serve us, and the Maitre'd was like our best buddy...
Those guys are awesome!!

Glad you liked the Veal. Phil used to cook it often on the week-ends. Haven’t done it much lately.

by the way you totally over paid hallie... in her mind that's like $100, she's gonna be begging to babysit more! :)

That name sounds familiar, where have I seen that name before? When I figure this out Jesse and I are going to have to go there and try it out. It sounds yummy!

So since you two are working your butt off, to help with the hotel. Are you considered an employee as well and getting your own paycheck, or are they paying Merrill double in each of his paychecks? Or is this volunteer work?

mmm.. me too!! I want another mahgarita pizza.. apparently the crust wasn't enough! :D

Mindy said...

Hallie totally deserved every penny of it.. she earned it. All three of my girls were so happy!! Even Peyton the hip hugger.. Hallie is awesome!!!!

Mindy said...

Totally volunteerism.. nothing like helping my boy out!

nothing like a good meal that you don't have to make yourself :) Still haven't made it up there yet.
