Great Chefs of the Bay Area Fundraiser for the Clear Lake Symphony

The Clear Lake Area Symphony Society (CLASS) will stage the popular fundraiser Thursday, March 4, at the Nassau Bay Hilton Hotel to support the Clear Lake Symphony as they enter their 35th season this year.

Chairpersons Sherrie and Mike Matula and Blanche Stastny have an impressive lineup with which to tempt your taste buds with a symphony of flavors from around the world - chefs from the Hilton, Mediterraneo Market and Café, Cuisine of India, Tierra Luna Grill, Outback Steakhouse, Frenchies and Grand Finale.

Beginning at 7 p.m., patrons will enjoy a multi-course sit-down dinner with a menu which includes favorite dishes donated by the participating restaurants. A sample of the menu includes: Spinach and Onion Pakora; Vegetable Samosa; Pozole (Mexican soup); Blue cheese Pecan Chopped Salad; Stuffed Cabbage; Dijon, Garlic and Herb encrusted Lamb Chops with a Port Wine Reduction; Porcini Ravioli; and Cannoli.

During the evening, participating restaurant chefs will entertain attendees with descriptions of their featured menu items and other menu offerings that their restaurants are known for in the Bay Area. A silent auction will feature a spectrum of items from local area businesses.

CLASS invites anyone who enjoys fine cuisine to attend and support the Clear Lake Symphony. Tickets are $60 each or $450 per table with checks, Visa, MasterCard or Discover accepted.
