HFTP Dinner
The dinner I just came from was amazing. As new student members of HFTP (Hospitality Financial and Technology Professionals) we attend a monthly chapter meeting for the Gold Coast Chapter. The chapter meeting consists of a cocktail reception, a business presentation, and dinner. Tonights meeting occurred at Ibis Country Club in West Palm Beach. The business presentation tonight was on Southern Comfort Wines. Each of the courses was paired with a different wine.
I am not a fan of wine, but it was a very interesting discussion about the varietal of wines that we were tasting. We used the five senses to categorize the wines and observed the legs of the wine, the flavors, and the different characteristics. The table was professionally presented and the food was amazing:
- House Salad w/ Balsamic Vinaigrette
- Crab Cakes and Crab Soup
- Filet Mignon with/ Flounder, Potatoes, and Carrots
- Caramel Mousse
It was very scrumptious and delicious. I didn’t have room for dessert, but I am definitely looking forward to the next meeting. It is a great opportunity to network, learn, and have fun. Hospitality is always providing neat opportunities.
