Create A Fine Dining Menu


The chefs at Saddle Peak Lodge are pleased to offer to our Facebook and Twitter friends, the chance to create their own gourmet meal at one of the most prestigious restaurants in Los Angeles, and have the chefs cook it for them on the house. The meal will be completed with paired cocktails or wine of our choosing.

We will let the winner know with a Twitter and Facebook post on the 1st of the month, and invite them in with a guest to try their created meal.

Just create and submit an appetizer and entree with your Facebook or Twitter username under the “leave a reply” section on this blog page.

We will select one menu from our Facebook friends and another from our Twitter followers. If you follow us on both, you may submit two separate menus and have two chances to win. Just leave your Facebook username for your first menu and your Twitter username for the second.

Applicants must be friends/followers of ours to qualify.

A sample menu would look something like this:

Appetizer
Seared main scallops with sauteed pea tendrils, fresh peas, black garlic and sea urchin cream sauce.

Entree
Grilled filet mignon with glazed baby heirloom carrots, sauteed spinach, brown butter whipped potatoes and mushroom bordelaise sauce.

Good Luck. We look forward to seeing some creative ideas.
