Win A Royal Dinner Party For Eight

Fellow peasants and vassals, arise. The aristocracy of Dallas society is giving you a chance to dine like a king or queen. Thanks to ultimate hostess Yvonne Crum, you lucky lowlifes have a shot at a dinner party prepared by The Royal Chef, Darren McGrady. The former personal chef to Princess Diana donates these pricey dinners to charity events and they usually sell for around $10,000. That’s a lot of pasties, my friends. Anywhoo, Princess Yvonne has changed the rules—instead of the donated dinner going to the highest bidder, she is selling $50 raffle tickets (6 for $200) for the prize. The drawing will be held at The Fresh Faces of Fashion 2008 event on March 3, and the money raised will benefit The Suicide and Crisis Center. Details of the complete package below. Buy tickets by calling 214-691-5514. Cheerios!

· 4 Autographed copies of “Eating Royally Cookbook”

· Signature Set of Edge Cookware

· Consulting with “The Royal Chef” on menu

· Food purchase, shopping, preparation

· Tables set up and tear down

· Butler Service for the evening

· Good for 1 year from date of purchase 3/7/09

· Some restrictions apply.

“… the money raised will benefit The Suicide and Crises Center. Jump for the rest of the package.”

Whether that was an intentional “joke” or not, it should have been edited out.

“Crisis” is misspelled.

Jan, so much for copy and paste. And whoopsie on the jump which I changed. Didn’t catch it.
Darren McGrady @ January 23rd, 2008 at 4:57 pm

Crisis is spelt right in the original copy (smiles) So, worth buying a ticket though right ?

This is not a paid endorsement…but if Darren’s cooking is half as good as his stories and his generosity, then it’s a great deal at any price. And now I will go back to being snarky.
