One of the benfits of being a small business consultant is that once in awhile I have the privilege of hearing a really exciting startup company make a pitch to potential investors. That was my experience the other day. More about the startup in the future, when they go live…
This investor gathering was at a lovely home in North San Diego County. The host and hostess were just gracious. The two entrepreneurs launching the startup were professional, well-prepared and the new company itself is exciting. Everyone blended together and the 16-person event was both social and constructive.
Anyway, so much for teasing you about details I cannot reveal as yet. (More on this startup in January.) One detail I can share with you is Chef Scotty (Scott Wagner), Founder of Chile Co. Catering located in nearby San Marcos, California. Chef Scotty and the hostess chose and served the most delightful d’Ouerves.
Chef Scotty uses only organic ingredients and his creations are pure heaven. Among the tasty treatsWe enjoyed: Wild Sage smoked Venison (Blackberry Gastrique, Wild Rice-Parsnip Pancake, Creole Dijon Aioli), a heavenly The Quail & the Crabapple Chinese 5-spiced Quail Breast and Poached Crabapple on a Cinnamon Stick
…and the smallest scrumptious crème brulees (with Floral infusion of Lavender, Rose, and Tangerine Blossom—honest). I have ever tasted—yes I had more than one. (That will be an extra hour on the stationary bike for me.)
I cannot recall the last time when I loved every single item that was served. And Chef Scotty’s serving team is just delightful. They were so in tune with the group.
What a delight!
