$500 per plate dinner tonight - HomeCulinarian - 08-28-2009 As a work assignment for Hubby, we *have to* attend the Athletic Assn's fundraiser tonight. Cost is $500 per person. Lots of former Illinois athletes will be there. Had to quickly get a new dress because I didn't have anything appropriate that fit (happy problem! ). So, I'll let you know what people in the midwest think qualifies for a meal at that crazy price tomorrow. Re: $500 per plate dinner tonight - cjs - 08-28-2009 Oh boy, are we anxious to hear the menu!! Re: $500 per plate dinner tonight - Old Bay - 08-28-2009 Must be Kobe beef, Iranian caviar, truffled rissoto, with Dom Perinone (sp?), and a '45 Petrus. Re: $500 per plate dinner tonight - esgunn - 08-28-2009 Oooh how fun...hope it's not chicken! Re: $500 per plate dinner tonight - Mare749 - 08-28-2009 You know, the funny thing is, sometimes the more expensive the event, the smaller the food is. It works for me, but not always for Ron. Hope you have a wonderful time and like the others, I'll be waiting to hear about the menu. Congratulations on needing a new dress! Re: $500 per plate dinner tonight - Gourmet_Mom - 08-28-2009 Congrats on the dress and the experience! I hope it's worth it! Re: $500 per plate dinner tonight - HomeCulinarian - 08-29-2009 So, here is what we had.... We thought it was very good, but no Iranian caviar to be found. The fundraiser was for Deron Williams' foundation. I had the photographer take a picture of me with him, so when I get that, I'll post it too.

Re: $500 per plate dinner tonight - Mare749 - 08-29-2009 Yes, it does look mighty tasty. Hope you had fun. Re: $500 per plate dinner tonight - DFen911 - 08-29-2009 That dessert looked scrumptious! I'm sure glad you guys had a good time
