11:00 is definitely not too early of a time to have something catered… I would call those catering companies and talk to them. Most will be willing to work in your schedule and budget.

Breakfast tacos/street tacos, pimento cheese biscuits with ham, club sandwich sliders would all be good small bite options to have on the course.

Chicken thighs stuffed with caramelized onions, spinach, and mozz
Farfalle with red sauce, steamed veggies with balsamic
(Not my prettiest plating ever :lol:)

Both are fun courses, but between the two, I would play Strawberry Farms. Someone else also mentioned Arroyo Trabuco in MV and that would be a great option too.
Same here for the one that opened in Dallas… it’s good, but not nearly as great as it was in NYC. We like the Naughty Pie (square) and the Green Machine (round). My friend (who is from NYC but lives in Dallas now) swears by it, though :lol:

Where did you end up going? Hope everything was good!
Use the bones and trimmings to make bone broth or beef stock… your flavor will be better on your steak with the bone in and then you get homemade stock for other recipes.

Monarch is good, but the views are better than the food. Al B’s is my personal favorite for a classic steakhouse, but love Nuri for something different.

Tex Mex - absolutely Mia’s for brisket tacos or Avila’s. If you want a little fancier with amazing food, head to Las Palmas.

Ken Forkish’s book is wonderful, but I agree about the starter.

Another good resource is The Perfect Loaf. I’ve learned a lot from both of them.
The Princess Sophia was the one off the coast of Juneau, AK.

The Sultana was a steamboat on the Mississippi near Memphis.

At the game, so who knows?! Geaux Tigers!!
So, so good! One thing I like is to throw in a mix of fresh jalapeños and some pickled jalapeños, plus some of the pickled jalapeño brine. It's almost like Chuy's green sauce.

ETA: Mixing up herbs is also fun!
I’ve done this as well and it turned out great!
This is the eternal question asking if a hot dog is a sandwich.

I like the Bob's Red Mill gluten-free baking flour because it doesn't have xantham gum in it.
