Upcoming YBF Dinners

Hey y'all.

Sorry I've been so MIA lately. I've been super busy. I'm catering a party this Saturday that I'm pretty stoked on - Check out the menu:

Blue Plate Special - Chicken Fried Steak and Potatoes
Tenderized skirt steak Tempura with whipped potato and wasabi dipping sauce


Fig Newtons
Homemade graham cracker butter crust with pine nut yogurt cheese and figs drizzled with honey


"Tapioca" Pudding
Pink grapefruit and orange caviar floating in a light champagne vanilla cream

PRUNES
Prunes stuffed with manchego and pecans and dipped in bacon fat and white chocolate - topped with salt


Great Aunt Unice's Famous Meatloaf Sandwiches
buffalo burgers with pumpernickel and chocolate bread crumbs, melted gruyére persimmon ketchup and vanilla aioli, on sliced ciabbatta

If you couldn't pick up on the theme - it's a party based on retirement home lifestyles. I know - you must be thinking "how rude"!

Anywho - I'm also co-hosting a private Christmas party later in the month where I will also be making a three course Home Alone themed dessert for the guest in attendance. So December is out for any real YBF  Two-Week tasting menu dinners. But the new year is right around the corner!

So here's the schedule as I have it planned out for the New Year:

January 10 - YBF's top ten songs of 2009 - in food!

At the end of every year, my friends and I (and the rest of the world), like to compile a list of our top ten songs, some do their top ten albums. This year I thought it would be fun to announce my top ten through ten dishes. Each dish would represent a song off of my list, counting down from 10 to 1.

Tasting Menu: Ten Courses
Drinks: BYOB. Some alcohol will be provided, but please bring your own wine to share.
Cost: $55 per person

February 7 - Love and Let Love Feast

The menu for this tasting menu is still in the works - but you can bet it will have the theme of love.

Tasting Menu: Five Courses
Drinks: BYOB. Some alcohol will be provided, but please bring your own wine to share.
Cost: $35 per person
