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
Until we all decided, Manuel’s became the Arena for the “Championship Hottest Salsa Eating Contest”. Mississippi State Champ, Lisa Monistere, successfully defended her title by annihilating Michael in the Main Event. Michael threw in the towel in the second round, and Lisa remains UNBEATEN.
A rematch is scheduled for June 28th, in lisa’s home state of Mississppi,,,,,,,Micheal vows to not take Lisa lightly next time, and promises to train hard.
HIGHLIGHTS……Mexican Martinis, Mango Margaritas, and Air Conditioning.
When in Austin, Texas our dear friends Jennifer and Justin Turner always know just the perfect place for dinner. This time was no exception. From the get go it was the perfect blend of Tex Mex which went very well with wine and vodka. Couldn’t do dessert….had to open the button on my pants!! Nuff said!!
Thank you J & J from M & M
MMMMM

How great is this restaurant? Well, in the city where every restaurant is great, we had to go back here twice just to get enough of it. Redfish Grill is DELICIOUS!! Go and EAT!
Parisian atmosphere, accented by Candlelight, Wine, Delicious Aromas, and Fine Art. Dwight and Deanna Urs have outdone themselves as always. Incredible Food, Incredible Hospitality, and INCREDIBLE PEOPLE.
After 2 intensive days of PAINTER, we were invited to Sandy Puc’s home for a family dinner. Sandy’s husband, (Colorado’s Premier Chef), Chef Ed, was preparing true Colorado delicacies as we arrived. We suggest to everyone to take the Juliana Pre-Dinner house tour, where she will offer you a personal, and up close look, from the Master Bedroom to the Basement Do-Jo. Be careful when entering the Do-Jo, the entire family has WORLD-CLASS trophies that show off their skills.
Chef Ed’s Caesar Salad was the best I’ve ever had. Followed by perfectly marinated and tender BBQ’ed steaks, that melted in my mouth, with asparagus and potatoes, all I can say is,,,,,We will be back REAL SOON.
Highlight-Spending time with The Puc’ family, and hopefully building a friendship that will continue forever.
