Pleasure Palate Filipino Feast at Asian Noodles May 24, 2006

COST:

$25 needs to be Pre-Paid by May 22 to reserve your spot. The $25 will cover the entire meal plus one soft drink. Once you RSVP, you can either send $26.50 ($25 + $1.50 Pay Pal Fee) to my Pay Pal account at [email protected] or you can send me a check for $25. Just email me for an address to send the check to. IMPORTANT: You can not just show up for this dinner. I need to collect all the money and give that to Asian Noodles by May 22 in one lump sum. I also need to turn in a final headcount that same day so that they will know how much food to prepare.

EVENT DETAILS:

Join Pleasure Palate as we do some culinary exploring of restaurants (both high-end and holes in the walls), various food and beverage tastings, cooking classes, potlucks and so much more.
