What's For (Rehearsal)Dinner?

I'm glad you asked. Last week we picked our rehearsal dinner menu and boy is it delicious. :)Thanks to Justin's parents, we are going to be treating our family & dearest friends (aka our wedding party) to one helluva good evening!


So let's talk food. Julep's lets you offer either a 3 or 4 course meal. We've decided on a 3 course meal: soup/salad, entree and dessert. I'm sure you are thinking, ok...so what are the options?!?!


First Course:
Sweet Water Crab Soup with Sweet Potato Gaufrette and Olive Oil Poached Tomato
Mixed Spring Lettuces with Cucumber, Applewood Smoked Bacon, Stilton Blue Cheese, Pecan Hush Puppies and Lemon-Balsamic Vinaigrette


Second Course:
Grilled Petite Angus Filet Mignon wrapped with Applewood Smoked Bacon, Mashed Potatoes, Baby Spinach, Caramelized Cipollini Onions and Julep's Steak Sauce
Parmesan Crusted Alaskan Salmon with Spring Pea-Crispy Pancetta Risotto and Pinot Noir-Dried Currant Emulsion
Grilled Smithfield Pork Loin Chop with Pistachio Pesto-Goat Cheese Crust, Sun Dried Apricot Confiture, Black Lentil and Sweet Pea Shoot Saute


Third Course:
Decadent Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Sauce and Stewed Blackberries
Cheesecake with Lemon Zest Scented-Almond Crust with Strawberry Gastrique


We are also going to have like a mini cocktail hour to allow everyone time to get there and settled. Everyone will be coming from the rehearsal, but since it's in the heart of downtown parking can sometimes be tricky. So we want to give everyone time to get parked and to the restuarant.

During our "cocktail" hour, we will be serving some appetizers. We've selected:
Fried Green Tomato Beignets with Roasted Jalapeno-Lemon Aioli
Southern Style Chicken Samosa with Garlic-Chili Sauce
Honey-Cumin Seed Glazed Lamb "Pop"

Yumm! Yumm! Yumm!
