Of course, everything was outstanding, thanks to Alan. Just as the main course was being served, thunder, lightening and strong winds forced everyone to grab everything from under the tent and move it all to the lodge. In spite of this, Alan managed to serve perfectly prepared salmon and barley risotto to 100 people. Amazing!

Howie, my mouth is watering at the memory! Alan Kerr is phenomenal! The Goat Rotie and the duck confit appetizers were out of this world! I heard so many people raving about the eggplant, I think he converted several disbelievers. Had to be the best salmon I've ever had, as well. Seriously, now you've done it...I WANT MORE!!!!
