Whitehall Lane Dinner |
In
the most intimate dinner to date, 36 of our
members feasted on the cuisine of visiting
guest Chef Laurent Cantineaux from the much
publicized restaurant – The Atlantique
in Caracas, Venezuela. His restaurant is widely
known as the best French restaurant in Venezuela
and Chef Cantineaux is both young and extremely
talented, and is well known for his bold and
daring dishes. This was the first time during
my presidency that we featured a visiting
guest chef and members were impressed with
the quality and the uniqueness of his cuisine.
We deliberately scheduled the dinner after
the 4th of July, which of course, is the very
well known date for the American celebration
of Independence. This way, we could commemorate
the auspicious event with our American members,
who form the largest group within our society,
after the locals. The wines featured were
from Whitehall Lane, a multiple award winning
winery and producer of some of the finest
wines coming from California. The entertainment
was also American, and we were presented with
an acappella rendition of The Star Spangled
Banner by four of our U.S. members. |
