One of the lesser known perks of my job is the dinners put on by drug company reps. They usually put on dinners so that they can sell a new product. They always have some speaker talking about a disgusting subject. They often offer CE credit. And, for the most part, the food is good.
Yesterday's dinner blew all the other dinners out of the park on so many levels. The topic was dermatology (ie: disgusting skin bugs and infections!) It was actually very interesting and some info may prove useful for a friend's suffering dog. The speaker was very funny - unlike ALL the others. And she only used one semi-gross (but really sad) picture during the meal - again, unlike ALL the others. But the highlight of the night was the meal itself. Let me break it down:
Wine (2 choices):
White
Red - so good with everything on the menu
Appetizers:
Warm spinach & cheese dip with costinini
Fried mozzarella (not in stick form, but in whole plate size form!)
Salads:
Ceasar salad
"Italian style" (lettuce, tomato, red onions, cheese, vinaigrette)
Pasta:
Zitti
Cheese ravioli - with delicious GREEN sauce
Eggplant Parmesian - Don't worry, I didn't eat it.
Meat:
Chicken parmesian
Sliced beef
Chicken Picata
Sides:
Baked red potato
Asparagus
Desserts:
Warm apple strudel w/ ice cream
Cinnamon vanilla ice cream sandwiched between puff pastry & chocolate
Coffee
Can you believe this menu? It was so delicious! No one will ever be able to compete with that - not even the wine train!
