Following dessert Toni-Marie gave the accolade for the evening, Chef Yoshi and his team were praised for their efforts towards this evening, given that they were not working with the same full brigade as they would otherwise. A few of the highlights were the sit down reception, the king crab, and beautifully prepared salmon, along with the croute on the mushroom soup. Also, the plates could not have been hotter, which was delightful. We saw Yoshi’s passion for ice presented with the palate cleanser.  It was noted that Willow Parks Wine and Spirits cohosted the event, and provided the wines for the evening, thank you Peggy Perry.

With the heart of the house and the brigade assembled it was time to announce the plate recipients for the evening. Please note for the next 2 pictures that Peggy, left, is wearing a clear face mask.

For the Heart of the House Yoshi Chubachi, Executive Chef.

The front of the house plate went to Jessica Kurtz, Food and Beverage Manager

Thank you so much to everyone at Azuridge!

Vive la Chaîne!
