The Celebrity Kitchen seminar with chef Robert Irvine was well worth every penny. We both had a great time and it was nice to attend one of his seminars especially at the DCA F&W Festival. His two dishes were good while I enjoyed the lamb dish the most. Even though I don't drink, the drinks (lime vodka and Malbec) were not that bad but it is hard for me since I don't drink alcohol. I remember well that you went there early that day where we got there about an hour until it started and was about 10 people in front of us. IT did seem like it was well worth the extra wait time to get the first table and close to the stage. Nice pic with chef Robert Irvine.
I'm glad you enjoyed it as well. Robert Irvine is always entertaining!
He is a great guy and have a big heart with his charities and military service. I still remember that you said to him about if there was any fishermen during the event and I didn't say anything LOL. Technically I am not a fisherman like my other family members or friends.
Well you're more of a fisherman than anyone else I know!
That is neat that you found Francisco at the parks. It is interesting to see cats at the parks.
Very nice update.
In the last couple months, I have seen more Disney cats than I have ever seen before!
Well, I guess if you can repurpose a set...
Why not?
This really looks like an interesting event. I'm glad that you were able to go and enjoy it, even if feeling a little bit under the weather still.
It was! I really love the F&W events especially when I know the chefs from their TV shows.
What??? They have names??? And you can Google them???
They have a FB page, someone has set up a Twitter account...they are quite tech savvy!
WOW!! Ok I am officially jealous - I love Robert Irvine. You lucky little duck!! Thanks for sharing with us.
This is the second or third time I've got to meet him, but the first where I got to taste his food!
All caught up again here! How awesome that you got to meet Robert Irvine! Lucky lady! Not to mention that the food looks yummy too.
The food was especially yummy and he is such a nice guy!
I guess I hadn't heard (absolutely ZERO DISTime lately) that you guys returned sick.
BOO! I knew that the weather was a bummer on the Cruise, but sick too.
Not sure if you read the final update on the Mississippi River trip. I didn't want to give it away until I got there on that TR.
I"m glad you didn't skip out on the VIP Chef thing though. Looked like a fun event with plenty of delicious food and drink. I'd have been upset too if I'd bought DVC points for specifically for F&W and then have them cancel it for several years afterwards as well. Glad it's back for you!! I may someday join you...
For the pricetag, I wasn't skipping it!!!! At least with the cancellation, I had a ton of points to burn last year which allowed me to afford the Grand Villa for my birthday celebration. Now I'm going to use up all my points that I have booking the 4 weekends after Easter!
Yay for the return of the F & W!!!
Your event looks like great fun. So glad you were feeling well enough to go.
Thanks for your enthusiasm! I wasn't really feeling well enough to go, but I still did.
