Hello Ellen, :)
I hope this finds you and your family safe, sane, and healthy. What a lovely idea for celebrating your Dad’s 80th! I am super close with my own Dad and can assure you I’d pour love into this meal, as though I were making it for him. Above, I’ve created a Modern American forward menu with your specifications in mind that I’m hoping you’ll love for him, but please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions and I will get back to you immediately. I also want to note that the price I’ve quoted you at includes me bringing my friend Sonia, who I have tag along on larger dinners to assist with serving, cleanup, etc to ensure everything goes seamlessly. Thank you very much for your consideration and I hope to hear from you Ellen!
Cheers,
Meg
