What takes a dinner party to the next level? The soundtrack, of course.<\/p>\n
A Pinch of Salt Catering will host a Queens of Hip-Hop Halloween Dinner Party<\/a> on Oct. 28, celebrating the music and influence of hip-hop legends Foxy Brown, Lil Kim, Da Brat and Missy Elliot.<\/p>\n “We pair their personalities with dishes,” Chef Quianna Bradley, owner of A Pinch of Salt Catering said.<\/p>\n The menu will start with a Shrimp and Grits Stuffed Collard Greens dish, a tribute to Lil Kim’s individuality. A “1,000” Layer Potato Soup was inspired by Missy Elliot’s boldness. The third dish will be a Seared Sea Bass with saffron risotto and a tarragon reduction to embody Foxy Brown’s timeless artistry. Rounding off the meal will be a Golden Spiced Tiramisu to celebrate Da Brat’s style, personality and unapologetic approach to life.<\/p>\n Tickets are $75 per person and includes the four-course dinner with a cocktail hour at 6 p.m.<\/p>\n “I love entertaining friends and cooking, I never wanted a restaurant,” Bradley said. “I always wanted to have a supper club with an entertainment aspect and delicious food.”<\/p>\n Bradley has been a personal chef working in and around Long Beach for over 20 years. She often teams up with Chef Ronnie Woods<\/a>, who grew up in North Long Beach and cooks homestyle cuisine inspired by his father’s backyard barbecues growing up.<\/p>\n The event, which is part of a series of similar pop-up dinners hosted by A Pinch of Salt Catering, will be held at a private home in Bixby Knolls. There will be a costume competition with a chance to win a prize for guests who dress up as their favorite hip-hop artist.<\/p>\n “We do it as much as we can and as often as we can find a space,” Bradley said.<\/p>\n Tickets can be purchased here<\/a>.
