Menu: men-u /’menyoo/ 1. A list of dishes available at a restaurant.
As if the word itself wasn’t so fun to say, the idea of ‘menu’ is super inspiring. I get a rush whenever a beautifully printed menu is presented, and the decision process of what to order just makes my heart pump. Although my normal item elimination process is to dismiss anything I could cook at home, many dishes have inspired me to re-create or cook a similar recipe for friends, inspiring a party.
This gallery is a menu of inspiring restaurant items and presentation that have inspired me to plan an event…….., and cheers to your own inspiration:
- Miette’s display of chocolate bars inspires a Chocolate Tasting Party
- Fresh n Wyld Friday Night Dinner inspires a Summer Evening Farmer’s Market menu
- Aspen Fashion Week’s popcorn snacks inspire a Movie Night menu
- This experience of a ‘Rocktail’ in Taos inspired me for a ‘Rocktail’ party for all my sober friends….
- Rutique’s Pot a Feu is un-replicable, but what a delicious winter dinner party menu
- I’ve always wanted to make this dish, and visiting The Stinking Rose inspired all sorts of garlic dish and decoration ideas for a dinner party
- The presentation of blooming tea buds at The Slanted Door inspired me to simply have a friend over for special tea
- Junk’s salad presentation is super creative
