Question of the Season?

It’s been awhile since we hit the restaurants and asked our staff a thought-provoking question about food. Following is a sampling of some very interesting answers!

If you could invite anyone to dinner, who would it be and what would you serve?

David Letterman & Whiskey! - Amy Richardson, Catering Manager

My father. We’d make bbq pork ribs and stir up gin and tonics. Or, we’d just pick some up at Jones’ BBQ – Susie Simpkins, server Dahlia Lounge

My best friend, Molly. We’d have tacos – the real traditional soft tacos with margaritas! Lots of them – with salt! – Kristen Klaussen, Pastry Baker

Amy Goodman (of Democracy Now) and I’d make fried chicken and potatoes – Margie Carrell, Dahlia Bakery (note to reader: Margie has never cooked fried chicken OR potatoes before!)

Brett Fabre (the Quarterback of the Green Bay Packers). I’d serve double bratwursts with mustard, caramelized onions and potato salad. Oh – and some nice cold beer. – Joel Lichosik, Cook Dahlia Lounge

Tom Waits, and I’d serve him bourbon tobacco mousse – Garrett Melkonian, Pastry Chef

Katrina vanden Heuvel, Editor of The Nation and I would serve my grandfathers bbq chicken. – Martha Francis, Pasta Maker Extraordinaire

Bob Marley – was he a vegetarian? I’d make plantain chips with mango salsa and brownies – the good kind. Katy Viswat – Catering Sous Chef.
