\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Oh what a night<\/a>, early September back in\u00a0’33 — As I recall it<\/a> ended much too soon.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We stepped back into the 1930’s for a Progressive Dinner on the Queen Mary<\/a> — A delight!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It started in the Observation Bar<\/strong> with Canap\u00e9s and Specialty Drinks, progressed to Chelsea’s Chowder House & Bar<\/strong> for Appetizers and more Specialty Drinks, then continued at Sir Winston’s Restaurant<\/strong> for a most incredible Dinner with Wine, and concluded in the Tea Room<\/strong> for Dessert, Coffee and Digestifs.\u00a0\u00a0The\u00a0MENU is posted above — Enlarge for a better view.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In the Observation Bar we joined fellow Food Bloggers and various media peeps for\u00a0Canap\u00e9s.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Cheese, Figs, Cherries, Almonds, Pomegranate,\u00a0Honeycomb and Lavosh.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We liked the Brie & Kiwi Canap\u00e9 best, but mostly anticipated the rest.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

My scarf matched our first\u00a0Specialty Drink\u00a0called a Purple something<\/em>?!\u00a0 Don’t ask too many questions, as some things became\u00a0purple-hazy progressively.\u00a0 Each drink was just so pretty.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Pay no attention to the woman behind the purple, she’s\u00a0excited to explore the Queen Mary<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

On to Chelsea Chowder House & Bar with Stasha of Coastal Food & Wine<\/a> and\u00a0several others.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Stop two of four\u00a0for sophisticated appetizers and new colorful drinks.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A favorite was the Bass Ale Braised Short Ribs with Caramelized Shallots and Natural Jus.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Also pictured, the Maryland Style Crab Cake Slider and Truffle Fries.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Chef Todd Henderson made all shown\u00a0and\u00a0described on the menus above — Thank you!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

View on the way to Sir Winston’s Restaurant, stop three and having an amazing time.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Up the stairs for the best yet to come.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Tables set in a historic place for a\u00a0refined meal\u00a0amongst the most discerning.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I wanted\u00a0to do it all again, before the first bite of Beef Wellington —\u00a0Oh what a\u00a0meal.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Truffle Sauce, Sea Scallops and\u00a0Wild Mushroom Chevre Strudel (with my sweetie Freis), oh my.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And it was\u00a0on to the Tea Room for Dessert and farewells.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It was hard to pace myself throughout, as I wanted everything available at each stop.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Bravo and thank you very much — Nothing lacked this evening but my capacity.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It was an honor to be aboard the Queen Mary<\/a> and\u00a0nice to meet Commodore Everette Hoard.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

He knows a great deal about the ship — Say hello to him onboard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
