Chef Holly Hambright was the ultimate host!
Trust Fall, the ‘secret’ dinner club and hottest ticket in town as far as food goes, recently handed over the reigns to Chef Holly Hambright (along with sous chef Anna Bogle) for the evening. And anyone out there that knows Holly knows she didn’t disappoint. Not only were the guests taking a trust fall, but so were the organizers of Trust Fall. The menu was kept a secret even from them. Under normal circumstances, the organizers approve the menu… but this is the Grand Dame of Knoxville Cuisine and you let her do what she wants! This included using her own family silver and dishes.
For starters….
Greeters were: Marigold Pickled Deviled Eggs • Tomato water shots • Tempered Butter Breakfast Radishes
The beautifully set table with Holly’s own family china and silver.
The Fallen Apple Cocktail • The Bitter Pill (Grapefruit Soda, Campari, Bubbles)
