It's always interesting to see whether a chef's gone to the effort of filling out our plates properly or trying something different.Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07147906610629741961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33131521.post-20335572094038492242011-11-02T10:11:48.848+11:002011-11-02T10:11:48.848+11:00it is so refreshing to hear someone say "well...it is so refreshing to hear someone say "well you know it was good, but really it was a jumbled around poorly planned version or what the meat-eaters got." I had this same experience at Jacques, (and every other catered event i go to) though Jacques at least made one of my dishes better than the meat-eaters... Why do chef's not look at what they've planned and think about the full experience of the vegetarian? i mean at this level, they really should, if they're offering the option at all. Or we should at least be paying significantly less for "left overs".louisahttp://volupt.nunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33131521.post-54322296491188822832009-11-23T18:20:36.564+11:002009-11-23T18:20:36.564+11:00Glad you made it there, Kat!

(Though these ones probably don't have quite so much alcohol as a 'normal' cocktail, they certainly add up!)Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07147906610629741961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33131521.post-1729969372415309612009-10-04T19:38:09.681+11:002009-10-04T19:38:09.681+11:00I think $75 for 5 martinis and meals is great, I p...I think $75 for 5 martinis and meals is great, I paid $19 for ONE cocktail the other night, it was lovely but so not worth $19!<br /><br />A friend of mine always wants chocolate cocktails, I bet he would LOVE that last cocktail.xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16888982130221268208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33131521.post-14959375578318702042009-10-04T18:12:45.624+11:002009-10-04T18:12:45.624+11:00THANKS FOR ALERTING ME TO THESE "COCKTAIL&quo...THANKS FOR ALERTING ME TO THESE "COCKTAIL" EVENTS.
