Hello everyone!

Some of you watch food network channel or any food TV shows like Top Chef from Bravo channel. Top chefs usually focus on gourmet foods and creative dishes that we tend to drool over. I have something a lot better than this. Last Friday evening (2/12/10), Holly and I went out for a pre-Valentine dinner and we attended to a special event at a catering company. Imagine this, you are watching a food channel TV show watching top chefs making delicious gourmet foods then all of sudden you are in the TV show and you are sitting there tasting 4 courses with different wines for each course.

There were two different people at the event to explain about the food dishes and wines, one was the chef and one was the wine connoisseur. The event had about 60 people and it was varied from friends to business people. Their quality service was a huge success.

Reason why I’m emphasizing about this event, this catering company is called Feast on This and it’s owned by a deaf chef, Matthew Baker. He has been running the company for 10 years and his dishes have improved much more. He tends to look for new recipes and sauces to put them together beautifully. He just started a new project to put the dishes together with, what? Wine!! His company found a wine connoisseur few months ago.

The event only had 7 deaf people and the rest were hearing people. WOW!! I don’t know how Matthew put up with this being deaf because I’m deaf too. The event provided an ASL interpreter to interpret what Matthew explained about his food dishes and for the wine connoisseur, he explained how the wines go with the food dishes.

Small percent of the sales that the event earned will go to Haiti deaf children who they survived earthquake. Feast on This will host special events like this one every 3 months. If you are interested, go check out the website and you can always speak with the chef in ASL!!

Enjoy!! Bye! Bye!
