Breakfast for Dinner!!

Hello my little Honey Badgers,

Our next Underground Dinner is gonna be funky - crazy - cool!!! I think the only genre that we have not covered yet with these dinners is Breakfast for Dinner!! I know it sounds crazy but as a child growing up in Louisiana my mother did this once a month and it was always my favorite meal!! (we will have milk and orange juice, believe DAT) The din din will be Saturday night (in a hidden location around Lakewood) August 27th. Arrival time will be 8pm and BYOB homies!! I suggest mimosas or straight up champagne for this dinner!! Light body red wines would work too. I like bourbon with my breakfast but I know I'm a crazy cajun! Dinner will be $60/person + gratuity and cash only. Upon arrival you will be greeted with a complimentary mimosa(mostly champagne with a little orange coloring) by Beautiful Models and The World's Most Interesting Man(he might have Dos XX in his back pocket and his bear hugs are with actual bears). Please send us your RSVP via email for this 6 course Breakfast event! (what's on the menu, whatcha cookin, just give us a hint) Whoa, be easy my little honey badger before I feed you Cobra and Larva again!!! Think about this: Slow Scrambled Truffle Eggs w/ Shaved Black Truffles, Hatch Chili and Pork Belly Pancakes w/ Sweet Scuppernong Compote, Southern Fried Chicken and Biscuits w/ Wild Turkey Honey Butter Gravy, Sauteed Spinach and Roasted Garlic Hash w/ Smoked Ham and Cream Scardello Cheese Grits, Hawaiian "Loco Moco" Seared Kobe Beef over Fried Rice with Poached Farm Egg and Veal Demi Glace, and Black Garlic Ice Cream Parfait... sign me up now! ( I'm eating every course)
Attached to this email I have included a copy of our concept portfolio for Twenty Seven. This restaurant is the brainchild of some crazy underground chef guy that he hopes to open up here in Dallas, TX. Check it out and tell me what you think!(any do you know any investors) The wonderful layout and presentation credit all needs to go to Ms. Holly (fried) Rice!! You can contact her at hollyricemail@gmail.com to tell her great of a job she did and how she can make kickassness happen!! Photography is by Ms. Courtney Gould(she will be there Saturday) and you tell contact her at gcourtm@yahoo.com and let this girl shoot!! It is true...
