WOW

Thank you, Chicago Home & Garden for filling me in on this little gem:

 Now read this and tell me you don't want to make a reservation...

"Hello, Chicago! On Thursday, June 17th, we're throwing the kind of party that will help you throw better parties! I'm talking time-saving tricks and insider tips for easy entertaining with style. Creating the WOW Party, we're calling it, (without work). These days, I think we're all staying in a little more than we used to, preferring casual gatherings at home that are a lot easier on the wallet than fancy evenings out. But when it comes to cocktail parties at home, hors d'oeuvres needn't be limited to store-bought hummus and pita, chips and and a chunky salsa. Now don't get me wrong: As an ex-caterer, I'm all for cutting corners if it saves time and money, but the critical part of the equation—the WOW factor everyone's always after—is presentation, presentation, presentation. It's the golden ticket, the insider secret all the pros know but never tell you. Until now."

Who doesn't want the golden party ticket?! I just signed myself up and I'm bringing my mom.

A little about Eddie: He graduated from the Culinary Institute of America and has worked on Martha Stewart Living, Food Network, owned his own catering company, worked on House Beautiful, was on Season 2 of Top Design and now has his own design company, Eddie Ross, Inc.
