Tables in Wonderland Discovery Dinners

Just wanted to share with everyone an email I got today. Apparently Tables in Wonderland (formerly Disney Dining Experience) cardholders are invited to join a series of special dinners with Disney chefs and managers. Sounds cool! Wish I could go:

The Waveâs Discovery Dinner

Celebrating Florida Seafood

Thursday, April 16, 2009

The Wave Restaurant is delighted to offer a special series of dining events for the Tables in Wonderland Members. The second event will celebrate Florida seafood and feature the very freshest sustainable Florida fish. We anticipate Yellowfin Tuna, Cobia, Wahoo and Barramundi to be available and will choose the very best of these items for our Tables in Wonderland Members.

David Fennessy from Central Seafood and Fresh from Florida will host the dinner with Chef Frank Brough and Area Manager Stephen Shepherd. David who has 40 years of seafood experience is a graduate of NYU, an Air Force veteran, and a former Regional Director for National Fisheries Institute. David has served on President Gerald Ford's committee on implementing a 200 mile limitation of American coastal waters. He is also liaison to the Mexican Government on developing a commercial fishery out of the Sea of Cortez, Mexico, and is a current member of Monterey Bay Aquarium and President of SBI/Fresh from Florida.

Jim Killam is the North Florida Sales Manager for Vineyard Brands. He is the importer of all the wines that have been chosen to pair with the menu selections to be served this evening. Jim has been involved in the Food & Beverage Industry for over 30 years and has been a long-time friend and partner with Walt Disney World Food & Beverage Department for a variety of events. Jim is also a Certified Sommelier by the Court of Master Sommeliers.
