Local Chefs Showcase
It’s a dining experience unrivaled by anything else you will experience in Columbia. When the doors to the Picadilly Room swing open, you’ll be wowed by the exquisite presentation of beautifully set tables adorned with sparkling Riedel glassware. And that’s just the beginning of this remarkable evening of food and wine.
Sicilian-born Ignazio Munna, the new chef at Churchill’s, will share his culinary heritage through a spectacular seven-course meal, accompanied by a selection of Italian wines specially paired with the evening’s fare. Chef Munna will introduce each new course and winery representatives will share information about the six wines you’ll enjoy during the evening.
Your $125 ticket includes this magnificent meal plus free access to a safe ride home provided by Doc & Norm Direct.
