May 21, 2011 – Los Angeles
l'ange renégat finished “NOIR”, a ten-course menu prepared by recycling items (and adding a contemporary spin) from defunct Hollywood culinary icons such as Chasen's, Nickodell's, and the Brown Derby (to name but a few). Guests were invited to interpret the dress code, “film noir”, to their liking, and we were excited with unique and original outfits that were conspired and revealed at the dinner.
Many thanks to our sous chefs, Gervie Dodson and Mandie Marie Leatham (could not have done it without you); our master cameriere, Josh Crotty (a much needed problem-solver); our Menu Designer, Whitney Harvey (they were exceptionally cool); and, as always, our photographic-partner-in-crime, Leif Roswold, for capturing the essence of “NOIR”.
As usual, you'll find photos from “NOIR” below, including the menu items. The full photo gallery can be viewed at l'ange renégat's Facebook page.
