Dinner for 100

Is this a good idea? For the longest time my friends and family have said, "You need to open a Restaurant," but it just has not been in the cards. I love our weekends with my wife and our family and I could never see giving that up to work in Restaurants again. Last night I was talking to a friend of mine about his passion for food. Then I thought we could do a one night restaurant. We thought it might be a good idea to put on a big 7-course dinner for a group of people at a large house in Charlotte. We could charge a big price and then use the money to go to a charity. It sounded like so much fun that I have been thinking about it ever since our conversation. I like the idea ... maybe we will have to take this one further.

Ciao,
Mark

Well Stephanie ... there are five of us meeting this week to talk about this further. We are thinking about a seven course meal that would cost over $250 per couple. This would include 7 courses plus wine during dinner. I guess we are trying to figure out ... where to do it? I do not have a house that can have this many people in it ... what do we do with the money we make? What charity? Can we really charge that much and will people pay? Anyway thank you for your encouragement. Talk to you soon.

Ciao, Mark
