Farestart: Teatro Zinzanni Style #2

I’ve been doing FareStart guest chef nights for about a year now and am starting to see repeat chefs/restaurants.  By the far the most attending nights are those by the theatrical production company that does cabaret dinners called Teatro Zinzanni.  Their first one was Alice in Wonderland themed and this time the theme was Dr. Seuss.  Take a look at this whimsical menu.

The Great Butter Battle: Vanilla Butter Cookies Layered with Cherry Butter Cream in the Cat’s Hat with Thing 1 & 2 White Chocolate Peanutbutter Cups (no picture but I guarantee the peanut butter cups were amazing)

Everything was tasty, especially the peanut butter cups.  I wore stripes, as that was the only thing I could really think of that would be like Dr. Suess and not take a lot of planning or creativity but a lot of people dressed up which was fun.  It was a fun night…and a late one!
