Wild Beast Feast…So…How Was It?!
(Besides Totally Rocking?)
-By Angie Manning
The Wild Beast Feast was a smashing success by all
accounts from the turnout to the decorations, the band, the chefs, the auction
items, the people, and let’s not forget the Edgemont Happy Hour Bartenders.
There was never a line at that bar, and that’s actually saying something with
the crowd! Everyone put their “all” into making the event a huge success, and
rumor has it (especially if you check www.facebook.com/lcsymphony, that
there was a frenzy with footwear fashion that night! Everyone is trying so hard
to be like Bohuslav...yet falling short! Yeah, totally check out those pix.)
Anyway, let’s hear a few comments from the peeps who attended and helped put
this thing together!
Bohuslav Rattay, Lake Charles Symphony Conductor:
“I think this
year’s Wild Beast Feast was the best so far. I mean, I only did two so far, but
this year’s definitely trumped last year's. More people, better organized and even better food.
Everyone commented on how great the bar crew was. They kept it moving and kept
the entertainment going…I think every single soul that night had a wonderful
time.”
Ashly Fruge, Symphony Director:
“Food was delicious as always. The auctions were bigger
and better than last year. The Edgemont Happy Hour Bartenders were so much fun.
They made the experience even better. The Chris Shearman Experience band played
awesome music that everyone there could relate to in some way. “
Leslie Milligan:
As for Abbie Grace’s perspective, Leslie’s daughter
commented…that the most exciting aspect of the Beast Feast for her was trying
all the new foods. She's a pretty adventurous eater and enjoyed sampling each
of the different chef's creations. Leslie shared that her family has been
enjoying the Wild Beast Feast since Abbie was a toddler when it was held at the
VFW on Country Club Road!
Chris Shearman with the Chris Shearman Experience Band:
“For my first Beast Feast, I thought the event was a
blast. Everyone there knew each other, so it was like a big extended family
event. It was a great turnout. This event was a lot of fun, and I plan to
attend every year…and hopefully play music at it!”
Cassie Price:
“This year we had an amazing response from chefs who were
very interested in joining us. There
were 24 chef teams this year. As every
year, I am so impressed by the passion that these people have for the art of
cooking! If you were able to visit with
any of them Saturday night, you could see how much pleasure they got from
talking to the patrons about their food. The delight on their faces, the energy
and the enthusiasm is infectious! It is
a very diverse group of individuals! These chefs are lawyers, nurses, bankers,
fishermen, moms, retail managers, investors, professional chefs and you name
it…I thoroughly enjoy talking and communicating with the cooks. To me, they are
what sets this event apart from other events.
These men and women so graciously donate their time and all of the
food.”
