The Best of Everything
FOR MORE THAN
three-hours recently, mem-
bers of the La Chaine des
Rotisseurs international
food and wine society dined
in regal fashion at Bench-
mark in the Michigan Inn .
as befitting the kings and
queens who were among the
original founders of the
society in 1248 ... and con-
sisted then only of supreme
chefs (original meaning was
chain of cooks).
Today, the members are
from varied walks of life ...
most of whom know good
food and wine ... and were
exultant at what they con-
sidered among the finest
dinners they have had.
Chef Remy Berdy, execu-
tive chef at Michigan Inn,
answers our request to jot
something down about the
dinner ...
"What does a restau-
rant serve at a special
banquet when the guests
are the 72 members of the
local chapter of the
centuries-old gas-
tronomic organization,
La Chaine des Rotis-
seurs? Formed in 1248 as
a food and wine society, it
is one of the largest
organizations of its kind
in the world. The society
meets four times a year
for classical dining.
"This was the question
posed to myself and Food
and Beverage Director
Randy Villareal. The ban-
quet was to be hosted in the
Benchmark Restaurant of
the Michigan Inn by well-
known maitre d' Monsieur
Joseph. _
"The menu included: Cold
hors d'oeuirres (kiwi stuffed
with strawberry mousse,
wine-curried shrimp in a
miniature melon boat, scal-
lop and oyster pate with
champagne sauce); hot hors
d'oeuvres (lemon sole Re-
becca, Scottish quail eggs,
French goose liver strudel),
Potage (vegetable custard
soup), Poisson (lobster
quenelle with sauce nantua
and a Hollandaise glaze);
Entree (pheasant breasts
with pistachio in a ginger
glaze); intermezzo (mango
sorbet served in a frozen
apple); la piece de resistance
(stuffed tenderloin,
Deuxelle stuffing, white
truffle sauce, cucumber
chain garnish); entremets
—, sweets (poached and
fre4i fruits with a raspberry
sauce and a small frozen
souffle to garnish); and cafe
(chocolate mint truffle).
"With every course a
different and appropri-
ate wine was served. At
the conclusion of the
meal, Monsieur Joseph
and his efficient staff of
servers were introduced
to the society. Then the
culinary team of chefs
Remy (Berdy), Reza
(Shaft% Jeff (Trombauer)
and James (Meyer) were
introduced and the tech-
niques of preparation for
all the courses were dis-
cussed.
The chefs were given a
standing ovation and com-
ments made were 'that this
was one of the finest, most
unique,
well-balanced
meals they have ever had.' "
Members of the society
were pleasantly surprised
to see an ice carving of their
seal ... probably the first
time this has been done for
them in Michigan ... made
by Chef Reza.
This was the third Chaine
des Rotisseurs dinner for
Monsieur Joseph (other two
were at northwest area din-
ing spots) ... and he was ex-
tremely proud while intro-
ducing his staff at the
Benchmark who helped
make this one such an out-
standing success ... Hostess
of the evening Barbara
Davies Servers: Louise
Degain, Joy Maylere, Fen-
ton Brown, Barbara Jewett,
Roxanne Rusk, Donna Zink,
and Darlene Ephraim ...
Busboys: Eddie Cuares- and
Danny Jones ... and Bench-
mark violinist Gino D'Ales-
sio.
It was a private affair and
as Monsieur Joseph would
say ... the food and service
were magnifique.
THE GYPSY FESTI-
VAL at Topinka's Country
House ... Nov. 20 ... with
Billy Rose putting on 25
musicians ... plus Ziggy
Bela among others ... in-
cluding Gypsy Emma ... is
