Birthday dinner at Carrabba’s Italian Grill

Friday, December 17th, 2010

The other night was my son’s birthday, so after the Yogi the Bear movie we stopped by one of my fav italian restaurants called, Carrabba’s Italian Grill. If you have never eaten at this place before well you are missing something scrumptious! Back home in Cleveland my family would alway stop into this fab italian restaurant on the corner of my street. Well Carrabba’s reminds me of it.

Brett in the paper about being an advocate for Chrome Disease

My good friend Brett Cavalli was there too, he is the owner of the restaurant and always makes sure I’m taken care of. He has had some great accomplishments since the last time I was in. He told me that he was named, Merchant of the Year and featured in Atlanta’s Best. I am so proud of him, he also battles Chrome Disease and an advocate for it.

Shrimp Scampi

Crab Cakes

The kids were starved and ready to eat so Brett told me he would start us off with some Shrimp Scampi and Crab Cakes. My kids and I loved the appetizers yum!

Italian Classic

It was time to order our entrees when Brett told me that they had some new things on the menu for Fall. The Parmesan Crusted Chicken, Sirloin & Crab Cake, Forever Braised Beef Brasoto and the Cinnamon Apple Crostata. My son ordered the Filet Florentina and my daughter ordered the Italian Classic. I wanted the Spiedino di Mare(Shrimp and sea scallops coated with breadcrumbs and topped with lemon juice.

Cocktails going by lol

Speidino Di Mare

Filet Fiorentina

We all needed beds after eating our supper, I tell yah. My son asked me, “Mom why don’t they serves us lunches like this at school” lol. How cute of him but that goes to show that we really enjoyed everything. We went away with carry out bags because we couldn’t finish our meals. We even wrapped up the desserts too!

My son is a mess, this pic is too funny!

Cinnamon Apple Crostata

I like going to the Carrabba’s at the Perimeter Mall location. The atmosphere and the customer service is fab! I would like to thank Brett for hosting my son’s birthday dinner we enjoyed everything! xoxo

Frank and Tanya Ski at Wine Tasting

Tonight I had the pleasure of attending a great benefit! Im going to say this was in my top 10 of the greatest events I covered all year! Frank Ski and his wife Tanya, hosted a great wine tasting at their beautiful mansion. All the socialites,politicians,celebs and more came out to support their great cause. The Frank Ski Kids Foundation, helps inner city youth get a chance to learn and excel in art,science and math, and athletics. Their Foundation has done so much for different communities throughout Atlanta and it really shows how much they care!

Their house was simply gorgeous and their was auction items spread out throughout the home. There was Dr. J signed basketball,artwork,huge bottles of champagne, tickets to sporting events,golf outings and a horse! Ive never been to a live auction where they auctioned off a horse! That was hott and the horse was in attendance!

Everyone looked very nice and the shoe game the women were wearing was on point omg! The food was catered by Carrabba’s Italian Grill and it was so delicious! I also went around the corner and there was my fav! Cami Cakes was in the house and guess what, I didn’t get not one cupcake! When I got back from taking pics, the cupcakes were demolished! I guess that was a good sign but I was pissed I didn’t one, darn it!

Frank Ski and Tanya also gave Blake Sims a check for 500.00. That will go towards his education while in school. It is rumored that his football ability is just like Michael Vick. I wish him luck! The auction started and that was so fun to watch. One item was up to 5,000 dollars. I must say that Frank Ski Kids will be doing alot of great things for next year with the great turn out and live auction! I cant wait to hear the news of their adventures! I would like to thank Frank Ski and his wife Tanya and 360 media for the invite, I had a Pinktastic time! Pls check out the video and pics below!
