Anyone have an at-home dining experience?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:I’ve never had one at my home, but I worked one as a photographer recently. I work with the chef and he brought me along to capture the whole thing. It was decadant to say the least. This woman bid $4,000 for the experience. She invited eleven guests and family. The chef made the following: • sweet pea ravioli with duck confit • carmalized **** with with arugala salad • truffle risotto • rabbit loin wrapped in lamb intestine • goat cheese cheesecake • Mexican chocolate cake • goat cheese with honey and marcona almonds and about three other things I can’t remember. We arrived at 5PM and didn’t leave until 1AM. They drank a lot of **** and had a great time. The chef had the guests into the kitchen between most courses to demo what he was doing. Best part: I got to sample all the food (I passed on the bunny). Worst part: Having to interact with these snooty, pasty white people all night.
