Borgoguy Posted June 9, 2009 Author Share Posted June 9, 2009 I would never dream of lessening this momentous occasion with such trivialry But, what about the ****ing buffet? Asian girls, robes, whine, jewels and of course the embodiment of all that is eclectic and wondrous about the interwebs, Boroguy. But what about the food? Will this be like international fair, country potluck style, ballpark food, tailgate food, chinese food, Italian food, Tai food, beach food, wedding food, funeral food, or any other wondrous calorie laden fair. Other than that ,,, best of luck. Crusher, I don't want to make my upcoming colossal achievement about me. Though, I cannot fathom how one could not upon reflection on the scope of the effort with which I have embarked. This is why I started this threading: To work out the "bugs", so to speak, before the 10K milestone--and inherent heralding of the event--approaches and the appropriate planning has not been undertaken. You know that I am a French trained chef. The thought of anything other than spectacular culinary offerings for the gala is so unthinkable that it borders on heresy, or farce at the least. Off the top of my head, I would think teams of chefs from my favored three gustatory zones--France, Italy, Thailand--would be flown in with all accompanying local produce, cured meats, condiments, etc. I envision a totally authentic dining experience for the revelers, such as you I am assuming, based entirely on the terroir concept of food interpretation. As a backup plan, it might be a "hoot" to develop a theme around my most special honoring, tentaively named as BorgoDay '09. Maybe we could have chef teams recreate the menus served on the Titanic for the first class passengers. Of course, the dishes would need to be updated in order to appeal to, and reflect, the modern palate. Below is a sample menu from that doomed voyage.

Borgoguy Posted June 9, 2009 Author Share Posted June 9, 2009 You didn't hear this from me, but Max plans to ban you just before you reach the milestone. Sshhhh! As if this juggernaut could be vanquished. BTW, you do realize that "Max" is actually an acronym? It stands for Manly Association of Xerarchs, or individuals possessing of testosterone who have the innate ability--if not genetic predisposition--to survive in even the driest of climes. See, when JetNation was created by a disgruntled group of banned JetsInsider posters--and financially backed by a consortium led by the St. Louis-based Monsanto Corporation--they wanted to proclaim to the message board "world" that they would survive (even thrive) no matter how inhospitable, and creatively parched, the host internet environment. Hence, the use of the word Xenarchs, which means having the ability to grow even in arid conditions. The person who posts as "Max" is really a scholarship student at the Iowa Writers' Workshop in its two-year residency program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signed The Crusher Many thanks for your thoughtful response, Crush. As you state, this should be a fair starting point, but--by no means--the final product. At the very least, we (read event organizers) should be entertaining the notion of at least 10-20 carving stations showcasing a plethora of assorted meats, and inherent variations in preparation, from a variety of NATO and SEATO-based nations. We might wish to dub it a "Global Meat Jamboree In Celebration of BorgoDay". But I digress into the minuitae of the event.

Borgoguy Posted June 9, 2009 Author Share Posted June 9, 2009 I'll bring the Sabretts! You are correct that we should include some pedestrian fare to appease the louts among us, and for the kitchen, service, and janitorial help. Might I request that you plan on bringing onions slow simmered in tomato sauce as an accompaniment for the wieners. Why not stop by Skippy's Hot Dog Wagon on Staten Island and ask for a recipe? Tell them I sent you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should begin giving careful consideration to the dessert and cheese courses, as well as appropriate vintages for the ice wines, Champagne and port to serve along side. Now you've opened up a virtual Pandora's Box of additional details which we must address. God, what about the cigars? Do we know anyone heading to Cuba in the near future?

Im Ji Hye is a goddess of the highest order. Though the choice of watch is much to be desired. Nothing final, but I've put out feelers to these two about serving as towel attendants for my pre-gala bathing rituals. Though I trust they will "bone up" on their scrubbing technique.
