Date Night knows a secret and we are about to spill the refried beans. A few weeks ago, we received an e-mail asking for our address and telling us to save the date for a secret dinner. Hall is a photographer who takes pictures at those weddings.
Their concept is to take 4 elements secret location, styled environment, inspired cuisine, and an entertainment experience , 1 key, and 4 featured artists , get it? The location is a secret until 41 hours before the event. Where will we wind up? And the location is⦠Decatur! Designed in , the building is now used as a community center and a special events facility.
After signing in, we are greeted by these ladies, who are mixing tequila drinks. Tiranon tequila is combined with ginger beer, lemon and lime juice, thyme, lychee and egg white to make a very refreshing drink. While we drink, we munch on some chips and salsa. We are shown to a room that has the ingredients for guacamole on the tables. Evidently we are going to make our own. Chef Alvaro Victoria gives us a lesson on how to make the green stuff and off we go.
The winner gets a valuable prize. Evidently, I have been watching too many cooking shows and go crazy on the plating. Tequila, chips, salsa, and guacamole. We discover a bucket of Mexican beers and we each grab one. Something tells us that the dinner will have a Mexican theme. The dining hall is decked out. Check out the draping and lighting.
There are a lot of vendors who pitched in for this event. Most of them have roots in the wedding business. The floral arraignments at our table are huge, so big that they block the view across the table.
