Event: The Southern Food and Beverage Museum Benefit

I will be definetly be attending this. Not only is it an interesting idea to have a food based museum - I believe it will be buffet and passed hor d'oeuvres - so they might as well put 'ALL YOU CAN EAT BUFFET & BAR' on the invitation as I don't plan on eating the entire day beforehand.


The only issue is that since their is a disclosure at the bottom of the invitation "All proceeds go directly to the museum..." that means no chef is making any money - so you can bet that the dishes won't be that 'expensive' to the chefs and may be things that they already offer on their restaurant menus - to keep their costs down.
