The American Home Furnishings Alliance (AHFA) Speaker Dinner, held in The Clubhouse in August, was not only a night of compelling conversations and insightful discussions but also an evening that delighted the palate. Attendees were treated to a meticulously crafted menu provided by our exclusive catering partners Wright Brothers Catering Group, featuring a variety of flavors that celebrated both elegance and indulgence.
The dinner began with a Steakhouse Chopped Salad, a vibrant mix of romaine lettuce and radicchio, providing a balance of crisp and peppery notes. Artichoke hearts and tomatoes added depth, while Chevre cheese provided a creamy richness. Finished with a champagne vinaigrette, the salad was a refreshing and sophisticated introduction to the night’s feast.
For the main course, guests had the pleasure of savoring two expertly prepared dishes. The first, a tender Beef Tri-Tip, was served with a decadent hollandaise sauce, perfectly complementing the richness of the meat. Alongside this was a Blackened Mahi-Mahi, topped with a lemon cream butter sauce that highlighted the fish’s delicate, flaky texture and balanced the bold spices with zesty freshness.
Accompanying these proteins were two side dishes that elevated the meal further. Grilled Asparagus added a subtle smokiness and crisp bite, while Dauphinoise Potatoes offered a creamy, melt-in-your-mouth indulgence that made the entire plate feel comforting yet refined.
To finish the evening on a high note, dessert was a Toasted Lemon Pound Cake topped with a sweet and tangy blueberry compote. The combination of citrus and berries provided a bright, refreshing close to the meal. Paired with a coffee service, this dessert left diners with a satisfied feeling and fond memories of the evening.
This unforgettable dining experience perfectly complemented the intellectual nourishment of the AHFA Speaker Dinner, leaving attendees not just with food for thought, but also a rich culinary experience to savor.
