Annual Meeting at Lucky’s Cafe

By Shara Bohach

22 Cleveland Dames were in attendance at the 2013 Annual Meeting at Lucky’s Cafe in Tremont. After the chapter meeting's business including a "Year in Review," Dame Heather Haviland and her fabulous staff dished up an amazing, as-local-as-it-gets menu. She detailed out the ingredients which came predominantly from Ohio farms, and as close as the garden next to the restaurant.

Dinner started with the savory and sweet Butternut Squash Maple Soup followed by a Mixed Green Salad with warm blue cheese dressing and candied pecans. Dames had their choice of House-made Pesto-Ricotta Ravioli with Roasted Tomato Sauce or the Pan-Fried Breaded Chicken Breast with Wild Mushroom Gravy, Roasted, Herbed Fingerling Potatoes, and Sautéed Vegetables. The chicken breast was such a large portion, that every Dame who had it took home lunch for the next day! Dessert, a Chocolate Mousse Bombe made by Heather's pastry chef (pictured here), was as beautiful as it was decadent.

Dames brought their own wine to share over this truly delectable dinner. The table, decked out in a beautiful fall theme with candelabras and fresh flowers, added to the cozy ambiance. A big thanks to Lucky's Cafe for such a great evening! See more photos...
