  • Cheat's dessert

Here's what Meglet K. Gibbons and his guests have to say about the event:



Meglet K. Gibbons says:
Coke, it floats!

After the "romantic dinner" somehow grew to a five-person party, a menu change was needed. Never one to let us down, Jamie's suggestion of "A meal fit for the King" turned out to be exactly what the party needed. Well, let's just say that it took us a while to get past the margaritas to the main part of the menu, but the burgers were delicious, the chips borderline orgasmic, and the chop salad a needed nod to a nutritious meal. The lemon-rosemary salt was an especially key touch, and everyone loved it. What cemented our hold on the coveted dinner party championship belt however, were the coke floats. These fizzys gems took us back to the simpler days of our youth, and many a party guest was seen sporting a coke-foam moustache. And yes, we were just joking about adding the tequila to the floats.....

Thanks Jamie, keep up the stellar books!
