Chef Allen had one of his famous Palate to Palette dinner events to pair Cuisine, Wine and Art all together. This dinner was to showcase Romero Britto. If that name sounds familiar, it should. Britto was recently profiled on Donald Trumps The Apprentice April 28, 2005.

I have been lucky to meet Romero a few years ago through my own friend and artist rep, Robyn. I have watched with excitement the growth of his incredible art as an internationally known artist. He is one of the warmest and most talented people around and I am lucky to know him and his family.

Allen and Judy Susser are old and dear friends of ours. We go waaaay back as they say and we have shared many happy events together. It was a thrill to see how beautiful the restaurant looked on Britto night and to share in the fabulous food and wines from Chateau Ste Michelle. The menu included baby conch and sweet corn cakes, soft shell crab with rock shrimp, filet mignon of tuna and incredible guava and almond baklava.
Our favorite wine was the Estancia, Meritage, 2001…a definite Highlight!!

As always…Chef Allens is a TEN M Dining Experience!! MMMMMMMMMM
