Weren't those short ribs scrumptious?! I thought the duck/potato terrine app was delicious..as was everything. Chef Alan Kerr is truly a kitchen wizard!

I can't imagine being able to pull something like that off. Sounds absolutely great.

Letterman asked Zevon if his condition had taught him anything about life and death. ''How much you're supposed to enjoy every sandwich,'' Zevon answered. (From a 2003 NYTimes article on Zevon by Jon Pareles.)

I know, Mike!! Alan Kerr is an amazing chef who teaches culinary classes in Canada. All of this is done on site and in two days! He is a stickler for perfection. I honestly don't know how he does it all, usually with only one sous chef and a couple of volunteers for prep help. You need to join us next year to experience this for yourself!
