Gourmet Event to Benefit Carroll County Food Sunday
Dine at the Captain's Table to help food-insecure families
Delectable dining and a throwback to the ‘80’s sitcom “The Love Boat” are highlights of the 8th Annual Dining at the Captain’s Table event set for Thursday, October 17 at Carroll Lutheran Village. Proceeds benefit Carroll County Food Sunday, Carroll County’s largest non-profit food bank.
Sailaway begins at 6:00 p.m. with a silent auction, music and a cash bar followed by a gourmet dinner at 7:00 p.m. prepared by Carroll Lutheran Village’s award winning Executive Chef Shelley Funt. The menu includes Mesclun Salad with Apples, Pears, Walnuts and Honey Dijon Dressing, Sliced Beef Tenderloin with Merlot Demi Glaze, Petite Crab Cake, Julienne Vegetables, Lemon Thyme Potatoes, and a Dessert Trio Plate of Brownie with Chocolate Rum Mousse, Fruit and Nut Cake, and Pumpkin Praline Crepe.
A captain will head every table – and you may even spot Captain Stubing, Doc, Julie and Gopher in the crowd!
