Charity Dinner, part 2
Without much thought, I agreed that my husband and I would put on a charity dinner for the Boy Scouts. Then I panicked. Then I freaked out. Then I formulated a plan.
I would beg and plead with everyone I knew in the food industry. I suspected I would have to trade my soul for the help, but I was willing, it’s for the Boy Scouts after all.
First of all, I needed a place. So I called my friends at The Noho Bistro, Jessica and Tina.
If you’re not aware of The Noho Bistro, you need to make plans tout-suite. They serve an amazingly delicious, casual yet elegant lunch menu and offer catering. Their menu is seasonal, which is just plain awesome. Greg and I equate Jessica and Tina’s (both Chefs) cooking style to well-trained, classically French taught chefs who know what they are doing in the kitchen. Rumor has it they will be opening for dinner in the fall, and I can guarantee these ladies are going to make SoHo restaurants work for their money. I am still raving over the Duck Confit Salad with Pancetta and Cranberries I had last fall. The Pancetta was baked slightly, forming nouveau rose buds. It was gorgeous and divine. Not to mention their Bison Burgers SHOULD have won the Creative Loafing Best Burger Competition.
On with the begging.
“Sure, we’ll pair up with you. It’s for the Boy Scouts,” stated Jessica.
It can’t be this easy? Can it?
If you plan to dine soon at The Noho Bistro, please tell ‘em how great they are for donating their space.
I’ll still need food and wine, but at least I have the place.
