Friday December 19 – 7:00 Cocktails | 7:30 Hors D’oeuvres | 8:00 Dinner & Entertainment

“The Ref” Themed Dining Event

This fine dining theme is a sleeper – based on the meal served in the most frequently mentioned “favorite Christmas feature” – The Ref – which is rated R for moderately foul language and mature subjects and is recommended for ages 15 and over.

The last time we checked (accidentally) none of us are inflammable, therefore, we’ll not be requiring anyone to wear a candle lit wreath through dinner.

The feature menu includes – Roast suckling pig, fresh baked Kringlors with a honey pecan dipping sauce, seven day old Lutefisk, and Lamb Gookins followed by an Orange Marzipan Cake with Creme de Menthe and Lime Zest. The WYC Menu for this event includes:
