The meal was planned and prepared by two local chefs, Samantha Sanz of the restaurant Elements in Paradise Valley and Rochelle Daniel of Fat Ox in Scottsdale.
The meal got started with a complimentary cocktail called The Stonecutter. It was delicious.
Then an amuse bouche arrived. It was a very tasty ravioli complemented with a touch of caviar.
The appetizer was described as baby scallops with shrimp mousseline and apple. Very tasty.
The entree was a smoked beef short rib with a porcini tamale and black truffle mole.
That was followed by a coffee-chocolate tart.
And, here are the two talented ladies who created it all. It was a fabulous meal full of all kinds of flavors and all for a very good cause. We really do need our wonderful independent restaurants to survive. It's been a rough two years for them. My very special thanks to my friends Julie and Dave for including me in this tasty event.
What a great event and a boost to the restaurants. That scallop doesn't look like a "baby" to me! But maybe the plate is small. :)
