Confrérie de la Chaîne des Rôtisseurs Bailliage de Kansas City DINNER Friday, May 11, 2001 at CAFÉ SEBASTIENNE In the Courtyard 4420 Warwick Boulevard Kansas City, Missouri PHOTO CREDIT: kemperart.org Review by Kay Moffat Vice Chargée de Presse On May 11, at the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art in Kansas City, we were treated to a special showing of artist-in-residence Marco Maggi's Global Myopia exhibit. Maggi typically uses prosaic materials to create tiny works of art. One memorable piece, made primarily from aluminum foil and apples, is titled "Micro & Soft on Macintosh Apples." Because Maggi hails from Uruguay, the evening had a Spanish theme. At the reception, we felt like Barcelonans as we nibbled potato omelets and fish cakes, while we listened to the tunes of a Spanish guitarist. Marques de Caceres Rioja and Martinsancho Verdejo Rueda 1999 accompanied the tapas. Served in the courtyard of the museum's Café Sebastienne, dinner was a joint effort by General Manager Lisa Burgess and Executive Chef Jennifer Maloney. Lisa's knowledge of wine and Jennifer's ability to produce sumptuous flavor combinations made for a fabulous dining experience. The first course of chilled gazpacho was light and refreshing. Seasonal greens with blue cheese and sherry vinaigrette followed. The main course was Valencia paella, perfectly paired with Condado de Haza Ribera del Duero Crianza 1998. We finished with an apricot almond tart. At the end of the evening, we thanked Lisa, Jennifer, and the café staff for this wonderful Spanish feast. *** MENU TAPAS RECEPTION & SHOWING 7:00 P.M.
