Jon was asked by a business partner if he and his wife (me) would want to do a dinner together with him and his wife, instead of the usual lunch with just the two of them. Well, since the wives aren't usually involved with the schmoozing, his wife asked if we could do something fun, "you know, so we don't just have to sit across the table and stare at each other the whole time racking our brains for topics of conversation." I'm pretty sure that is very close to what she actually said! So, after watching a Saturday news cast, he stumbled across this new company, Get Knit, offering an event that you make your dinner with the help of a chef in a microbrewery warehouse.
We said why not! We found someone to watch the kids and off we went, not really knowing what to expect. It was a neat experience and really fun. The couple we went with was hilarious and super nice, which made the schmoozing much more fun. We made burgers, whipped up our own mayonnaise, and finished the meal with Bananas Foster. We also were able to sample the Microbrews.
The Chef was also very good at her job. There she is on the right. We messed up our mayonnaise and she swooped in to help us save it. Then, I must have been taking to long with my Bananas Foster process (I'm a recipe follower and there were no recipes so I was trying really hard to remember what she said and when to do everything) because she came by again to dump in the ingredients. I think since we messed up on the mayo she was keeping a close eye on our table. It ended up being a good thing, because she was sharing a lot of good information with us and was simply a hoot!
Very fun night out. Moral of the story: It's good to try new things.
Looks like a lot of fun!
