March 11, 2019 - Straight To The Table - catering company Mesa Arts Center Volunteer Dinner

I an a volunteer usher at the Mesa Arts Center.  Every year the Mesa Arts Center hosts a volunteer appreciation dinner at the Mesa Arts Center.  This year it was catered by Straight To The Table.

The tables were already set with our salad -  a spinach, raspberry, strawberry, slices of red, orange and green peppers, feta with a light dressing that our table thought was a raspberry vinaigrette….served with a roll and butter.

We were entertained through dinner by the Myron Summerville Orchestra…I just loved them…big band music…not loud…perfect dinner music.

My entrée was – Boneless Braised Short Ribs in Red Wine Sauce…served with a layered, creamy Scalloped Potatoes and the most delicious finely chopped…lightly steamed vegetables.  They were slightly covered by the wine sauce that was served with the Braised Ribs.  It was very tasty.  

I thought the whole meal was wonderful...the meat was so tender.  I have never eaten scalloped potatoes baked like this...but they were creamy and went well with the Braised Ribs.  

Dessert – pineapple upside down cake but it was pineapple along side cake…Pineapple Destructive Cake.   The cake was very light and buttery- topped with a cherry and whipped cream.  It wasn't too sweet.  Just right!
