Heartichoke: An evening of french inspired cuisine...

A couple of my wonderful friends, here in Portland, were nice enough to ask a few of our friends and I to sample a 5 course meal they were planning to make a week later for paid attendees. It was a wonderful night of great conversation, wine and delicious food. I hope the photos speak for themselves.
