August 8 - No Reservations Feast

I told you a little bit about the NO RESERVATIONS feast last week, but way back then I couldn't say much more than the fact that we were going to be having it. That was all well and good, but unless you're throwing a pot luck it's always weird to invite people to a dinner party without letting them know what they can expect to eat. So now I'd like to introduce... the NO RESERVATIONS feast menu:

We start with Kate's Seared Scallops with Saffron Sauce (seen in the trailer being eaten by her therapist, Arvin Sloane). Then we have Nick's Spaghetti with Grandma's Red Sauce (also in the trailer, this time going into the tummy of Little Miss Sunshine). But you aren't even close to done yet, as we then will be bringing out Nick's Free-form Pizzas with Salad and Grissini. I haven't seen the movie yet (why would I skip out on seeing it with the food?) and I don't remember the pizzas from the movie, but I did have to Google grissini to find out that that means breadsticks, so if you had to look it up also you don't have to be discouraged. You do, however, have to remain hungry, because we've still got two more courses to get through, starting with Kate's Stuffed Quail with Truffle Sauce and then Zoe's Miniature Pancakes with Fresh Organic Fruit, dusted with powdered sugar. All of that food, plus wine pairings with each course, and the proceeds benefit Capitol Area Food Bank. Advance tickets are recommended and available here.
