Mike Garozzo and Cherryh at the tasting last night.


I had to tell the hubby to get his own at the Mike & Charlie's Italian Restaurant menu tasting last night.

The new upscale dining establishment inside Harrah's Casino in the Northland is owned by Michael Garozzo of Garozzo’s Ristorante and Charlie Gitto of Charlie Gitto’s on The Hill in St. Louis.

Last night was all about indulging with 22 courses. (No typo - I meant twenty-two)

I, and other many other casino visitors, took several passes through a buffet that featured a different dish every few minutes. The Garozzo daughters served us the following:

Chicken Marsala
Chicken Gabriella
Toasted ravioli
Calamari
Baked clams Oreganato
Lobster bisque
Tortelloni Gina (MY FAVORITE)
Cavatelli Catania
Rigatoni Anthony
Chicken Garozza
Spiedine
Chicken Atkins
Chicken Giovani
Chicken Parm
Veal Parm
Filet of beef with herb butter

Oh, and it was just getting started. My glorious night ended with Mike and Charlie's Special coffee, which was SOOOO delish, Tiramisu, cheesecake, bread pudding, chocolate cake and canoles, of course.

I ate until I could eat no more and will be working it off the next two weeks. It was SO worth it.

Ahh...the "other side" of the tracks. I frequent Toby Keith's, alot! ;)
For thousands of years, writers and philosophers have noted the camaraderie and sensuality conferred by the shared meal and labored to describe the complex, arousing flavors and effects of spices, animal flesh and the spoils of agriculture. But why keep feasting in the context of the rich saturnalias and bacchanalias of ancient times when we have Cherryh to truffle-pig her way through a buffet? Ah, how modern to make every breaking of bread sound like a street carnival for bulimics. What a relief to fence in the epicure with a simple list of unexplained foodstuffs planted in the country mud of double-digit-IQ double-entendre. In a picture:

Some great food last night...the perks of being married to Cherryh Butler:). Then she killed me in working out after 22 courses...killed me.
Have I been spelling cannoli wrong all this time, or are you still on a sugar high? :)
