the short rib entre prepared by Chef Edward was arguably one of the greatest things I’ve ever tasted.

Day 14 of a 22 Day Adventure in Italy Part 2 of 2

For our grand finale, our Culinary Oasis team hosted a fairwell dinner to remember.

As always, the meal was proceeded by one of our patented sunset happy hours with mixologist prepared cocktails. Our final sunset did not disappoint.

Nor did our meal! Chef Edward & Chef Dray truly outdid themselves. I will allow the pictures to do my talking. Chef Lori collaborated with Chef Matteo of the Resort to deliver a spectacular Italian tiramisu for dessert. And the wine was spectacular!

But honestly, the short rib entre prepared by Chef Edward was arguably one of the greatest things I’ve ever tasted.

In between the seven courses guest were invited to give gratitude to other guests and staff members for acts of kindness throughout the week. There were many amazing, impromptu speeches ending our week together in a very special way.

Key lesson: Great food is a destination in itself.

Summary: Day 14 part 2: Chef Edward's short rib, one of the best things he's ever tasted.
