VANOC and Anti Doping Police Gala

Definitely a challenge feeding 225 people offsite a four-course, sit down dinner followed by a beautiful dessert buffet with ice wine! Everyone gathered at the Kamloops Tournament Capital Center and enjoyed a fabulous dinner as well as an amazing performance by the Kamloops Symphony Orchestra. Dinner started with a Tomato Gazpacho with marinated cherry tomatoes, then was followed by a Roast Beet Salad with goat cheese, frisee and beet vinaigrette. Appetizer of Risotto with roast lamb, mint pea puree and rosemary jus lié. Main course was Maple Butter Atlantic Salmon with baby vegetables, roasted baby potatoes. Nestled into an amazing fruit and dessert table were five flavors of Creme Brulee egg cups, with a different color to represent each Olympic ring. Mint (blue), Vanilla (yellow), Ancho Chili Chocolate (black), Green Tea (green), and Cinnamon Vanilla (red). This much anticipated dinner for us went off without a hitch. My hat's off the the 12 prep and cooking staff that worked hard on this dinner all week, as well as the 18 service staff that made sure the food got to the tables hot, and the clean up was swift.
