Why I’m mad at the All American Evening Chef
This was a weekend of food decadence, and I, Brother Ray, ate like a starving wild boar.
I hurt myself bad Saturday night at the All American Evening, “Cruisin’ the USA” at the Air Force Museum. Chef David Glynn prepared a feast like I haven’t seen in ages, with six food stations that satisfied every taste. I started by tasting something from each station, and went back for seconds at my favorites —- The Cajun Station’s incredible red beans and rice and shepherd’s pie; the New England station’s pot roast sliders; the seafood station’s crab cakes; and the southern station’s smoked brisket, collard greens and corn bread. I was so stuffed i couldn’t get to the dessert or cheese stations. The only thing that made me mad: there was too much good food and I didn’t have the stomach capacity to eat more.
This was a fund-raiser at $65 a ticket, and considering beer and wine were included, this was one of the best event buys of the year, so far (I also loved the Wright State Arts Gala). I left there wishing I could have gotten those red beans and rice to go. Goodness.
So folks: what good buys have you seen, or what do you know that’s coming up.

Chef David does a great job at the regular Sunday Brunch at the club as well the frequent (usually monthly) special wine dinners. You do not have to be a member of the club (although Club members do get a discounted price) anyone with access to the base (active duty, dependents, retirees, and civilian employees) can make reservations and attend.By fearless

Chef David Glynn and Miss Ella did it again! What a gem WPAFB has in the Club and Banquet Center and it’s talented staff.
