The invite said to dress summery, so this is what I came up with to wear [Darn Mr. EWP always taking pictures from a seated position. So unflattering!]
Anthropologie dress (I'm totally in love with the Parisian-esque city print!), Forever 21 bangles and headband, Guess shoes (you can see my runner-up shoes in the back)There was a cocktail hour with all the booze you could drink. Or, in my case, all the fun and creative non-alcoholic beverages you could drink. Mr. EWP was supposed to get my cute drink in the pic, but apparently didn't get the memo, so here is me and part of a straw.
Mmmmm..... Graham Elliot
The Menu: White tuna, pea bisque (may have been my favorite course), salmon confit, jidori chicken, and strawberry shortcake (my fave GE dessert).
Mr. EWP and I both remarked how the folks at Graham Elliot really brought their A game. While the restaurant is usually scrumptious, last night everything was just elevated and decadently delicious. Even the popcorn was better than normal!
Me and the hubs taking a break from shoving food in our mouths to smile for the camera.
Our new friends. Mindy and I follow each other on Twitter and found out we were both headed to the dinner and got a kick out of meeting each other in real life. Mr. EWP and I had a total blast with her and her boyfriend.
And, once again, I got a tour of the kitchen. The folks at Graham Elliot are seriously way too nice to me.
And then, the big finale: after dining at his restaurant at least 7 times, I finally got to meet Chef Bowles!!! I've forgotten the name of the cute bow-tied guy on the left, but he's the front of the house guy and super cute and nice. I almost asked if he was single so I could try to set him up with someone. I found him that adorable. But I restrained myself. I was already embarassing Mr. EWP enough with asking for a picture with the Chef.
We had the most wonderful time and were so honored to be invited to be a part of the second anniversary celebration. Thank you to everyone at Graham Elliot for a wonderful night!! Wishing you many more anniversaries.
