Details are in the email we sent last week.
If you're planning on attending, we'd appreciate an RSVP by email no later than Wednesday so we can have a head count for beverages and food.
Again, cost is $10 per person for the evening, which will include finger foods and grape libations. Frank, Michelle and Lauren will serve their competition signature drinks. Each barista station will have a "tip jar", with $3 requested for each drink served. As with last year, half the evening's proceeds wlll be donated to Bikes to Rwanda.
Rich, did you run into a trademark infringement so as not to serve your Primanti's Sandwich? Or won't you be serving it because of fish Friday? You could alter it a bit, maybe replace an ingredient with oyster sauce.

No, haven't heard a thing from them. if anything I brought Primanti's a lot of business that weekend - pretty much every out of town barista went at least once.
The reasons:
a) someone needs to actually make the espressos and run them to the stations, and that'll be me and Melanie.
b) the drink was not ready for prime time - first, it's a difficult drink build for a bar. Second, I think the non-professionals might get a bit squeamish about it and would be drinking a lot of wine to get the taste out of their mouths :0
c) there will be a version of it "on call". But it'll be modified from what was served in Cranberry. Definitely no cheese foam.
