WILD GAME NIGHT HALLOWEEN WITH LIVE DJ, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 30, 2009 @ 7.30pm
I am very pleased to announce a third special dinner featuring an assortment of wild game animals & birds. Some of these dishes may be cooked over a real wood fire on a Tuscan grill inside my fire place. We will also have DJ Ryan Stubblefield live spinning groovy house beats. The dinner includes sparkling wine upon arrival. Guests should bring their own bottle of table wine to drink and share with others at the table. Please arrive with an appetite for wild game meats. We will be giving out prizes for the scariest & sexiest Halloween attire so have fun with it. See photos from the August 8 & Sept 12 Wild Game Dinners!
