In a rare quiet moment, Executive Chef
Leo Villatoro surveys his planned meal with satisfaction.

This beer dinner combined unusual Belgian
beers with Leo's golden touch in the kitchen. Creating a menu that compliments highly individualistic beers is one thing, but designing four courses that include the beer as one of the ingredients is another challenge altogether.

Leo succeeded on both levels with this glorious dinner.

We encourage you to join us soon to see what
we mean: like a fine Belgian beer, Leo gets
better and better.

 
Guest speaker John Fincioen educated
-and entertained- our guests with the
history of Belgian beers and specifics
about the individual beers we were drinking
with our meal.

One guest, who was celebrating a birthday,
was treated to "Happy Birthday to you" sung
in Johnny's native tongue.

Additionally, he and his wife made everyone
very jealous with tales of their beer-tasting
tours in Belgium.
