Everything was fantastic. Great food and great conversation. The chocolate cake was phenomenal and that's from someone who doesn't like cake. Thanks Sandy for bringing your friend Sherri and introducing her to all of us crazy foodies.

Thank you who all was in attendance to celebrate this historic event. As the usual cast of characters were present we had a cameo appearance from Lady T and newbie Ms. Sherri.
Hopefully we will see them more often.

A big THANKS to both chefs for taking the time to prepare a fantastic meal and to Chef T again for hosting the festivities.

Check back for future comments and praises and some differences.

Ciao,
Movie-man Sandy
