Ignite Your Palate at the Festival of Hearts Gala:

Prepare to embark on a culinary journey beyond compare at the Festival of Hearts Gala, orchestrated by the celebrated Chef Gary Bales and Sous Chef Joshua Quigg (of Chopped fame). Every dish is a masterpiece, designed to tantalize your taste buds and leave you awestruck.

Savor the Excitement:

  • Dark Chocolate & Chili Rubbed Tri-Tip Carpaccio: Imagine velvety bites of tri-tip infused with smoky warmth, dancing on a bed of crispy bruschetta. A drizzle of ruby red wine reduction adds depth, while citrus and crasins offer bursts of brightness. Each bite is a celebration of savory and sweet, set against a vibrant canvas of mixed greens, artfully dressed with a vibrant prosecco orange vinaigrette.

  • Seared Scallops, a Symphony of Flavors: Imagine plump scallops, kissed golden by the flame, resting atop a creamy canvas of parsnip or sweet potato puree. An orange pinot beurre blanc paints a citrusy melody, accented by the sweet-tart harmony of pineapple and mango chutney. Every morsel is a delight, garnished with the delicate touch of micro greens.

  • Chateau Briand, a Regal Affair: Witness the crown jewel of the evening, a majestic Chateau Briand carved to perfection. Nestled beside the warm embrace of parsnip or sweet potato puree, it shares the stage with savory bacon and caramelized Brussel sprouts. A rich demi-glace completes the masterpiece, creating an experience fit for royalty.

Complimentary Wines, a Toast to Generosity:

As you savor each culinary creation, raise a glass of exceptional wines graciously donated by Jennifer VanEtten Realty. Choose between the bold charm of an Indian Wells Red Blend or the crisp elegance of a Thurston Wolfe Pinot Grigio/Viognier. Each sip complements the food flawlessly, enhancing the journey further.

And for those who prefer a plant-based path, fear not! A specially crafted vegetarian option awaits, brimming with fresh flavors and culinary artistry.

This is not merely a menu, it’s an invitation to an unforgettable dining experience. Join us at the Festival of Hearts Gala and prepare to be dazzled, one tantalizing bite at a time.

Remember, eight seats await at your table. Gather your loved ones and get ready to ignite your palate at the most delicious event of the year.
