We spent a fun afternoon with Tarmo Randes, the U.S. Ambassador’s
Chef. He spoke to us about the 4th of July reception preparations Wednesday
afternoon. It takes a lot of work to prepare for this event. Chef Randes said
that it took his team of six chefs three months to plan the event and about
three days (16hrs per day) to prepare the meals.
The menu will include burgers (best in town!), hot dogs,
pulled pork sandwiches and, potato salad, as well as sandwiches, chips and
pizza, provided by local sponsors.
The cooking team used about 120 kg of beef, 80kg pulled
pork, 100kg potatoes and 60 kg of mayonnaise, which should feed about 1,000
guests.
We were fascinated by what life in the kitchen looks like
when preparing for such a big event. The staff was working happily without any
stress, which, we thought, is rare for a big scale event like this.
Also, Tarmo showed us a simple way to make a very tasty
burger and cheered our afternoon with his enthusiastic spirit!
Best of luck to Chef Tarmo and his team with this event! We
have many things to look forward to this evening: the reception, the company of
great people and food, and the USA vs Germany World Cup game. For both
instances, we say: GO TEAM USA!!!
