The
Doe Fund’s Third Annual Sweet was held last night in a beautiful pen house of
Bowery Hotel in New York City. With A list guests, beautiful interior and laid
out red carpet filled with celebrities it was a place to be. Seeing top models,
Housewives of New York City and Orange is the New Black stars as I walked in I
knew I would taste some amazing dishes prepared by the biggest chefs of The Big
Apple.
Regardless
of big amounts of food and beverages as a big foodie I managed to try a little
bit of everything. The style was: go straight to the main dishes; take a break
with a glass of whine and than dive into amazing assortment of desserts. My
first stop was Pescatore where I tried juicy gnocchi in Bolognese sauce to move
on to Lavo’s famous meat balls, The Capitale Grille’s station and Dinosaur BBQ
for some more meat to eventually get
“Burgerfied” by breakfast all day burger. Burgerfi makes delicious
burgers with a very special recipe: potato bun, quail egg, boschetto al
tartufo, maple glazed bacon, dry aged brisket blend, hash brown, tomato jam and
garlic aioli. Do try this at home!
So
while sipping on Fox Run white wine it was time to satisfy my sweet tooth and
there were so many options. Manon served macaroons, Magnolia cup cakes and
their famous banana pudding, DO&CO brought in high tea appropriate tarts
and chocolate covered strawberries, Fatty Cakes served very innovative cakes
and there was liquid dessert served by Hernan! Recipe: coffee Patron and
chocolate!
Was
I able to move after you wonder? Well hardly… good thing was that Terri was
there with her immune and energy-boosting beverage Lady in Red. Overall another
amazing Doe Fund’s event and all for a good cause!
