Another APCA Cocktail Party to Remember
 The Opening Night cocktail party at this year’s
Summit in Minneapolis was planned and prepared by
the Chicagoland APCA Chapter with assistance from
our Minneapolis host chef, lovely and loving Judie
McLellan.
The event was sponsored by the wonderful folks at
Colorado Prime Foods who not only supplied some of
their top quality ingredients, their 2
representatives, Marc Rosen and Craig Livernoche
pitched in for duty in the kitchens at the Hyatt
Hotel and even dashed out in the rainstorm to track
down some last minute ingredients. These guys were
GREAT, and all of the chefs enjoyed working with
them.
We love getting together each year to catch up on
friendships and compare business tips, and when you
can do it in an atmosphere made even more enjoyable
with the addition of a few adult beverages and some
GORGEOUS food, it’s a success all around.
Here is the menu developed by the Chicagoland
Chapter supplied by Chapter President Karen Tursi,
and a photo of the beautiful spread prepared by
chefs Tursi, Terry Riesterer, Howard Lunt, Rhonda
Cady, Terry (I’m waiting for final info from Karen
Tursi so I don’t forget anyone) , Jeanie and Marc
and Craig from Colorado Prime Foods. You all ROCK!
