Charlotte, North Carolina—With 24 days to go before the 32nd Gala of the Filipino-American Community of the Carolinas Inc. (FACC), the menu for the big event is already in place.
The FACC’s Board of Directors went to a food tasting at the Hilton Charlotte University Place days ago and among the dishes readied was the herb chicken and grilled salmon.
“As I started taking a bite on the grilled samon which sat on liquid green herbs, the dish took my breath away,” said Liza Salyer who was present during the food tasting.
FACC President Muffy Therrien said the menu was great while Ron Dennis agreed that it was perfect.
The menu for the 32nd FACC Gala Night consists of romaine and baby spinach salad with grape tomatoes, cucumbers, julienne carrots, sunflower seeds and croutons and served with ranch and balsamic vinaigrette dressings.
There’s also the roasted vegetable salad of baby carrots and squash served with dijon vinaigrette and herb roasted chicken thighs, grilled salmon with chimichurri sauce and sauted pepper, jasmine rice tossed with lemon zest and fresh herbs, steamed broccolini with shitake mushrooms, carrots, soy sauce and toasted sesame seeds.
For dessert there is pecan pie/cheesecake, freshly brewed Columbian coffee, regular and decaffeinated and select hot tea
After the food tasting, the group met again with Michele Grote, manager and chef to discuss the menu which will be served buffet style for the enjoyment of those in attendance.
The 32nd Gala will be held on November 16 at Hilton Charlotte University Place from 4 p.m to 11:59 p.m. The food will be served from 6:30 p.m to 7:45 pm followed by the program proper.
