was there! “Oh yes, it’s Ladies Night” . . . oh what a night!” Williams Food Equipment, 2150 Ambassador Drive in Windsor hosted this third annual evening just for the girls on September 21, 2017. But, who needs Kool & The Gang when you have Executive Chef Daniele Palanca and his team from Ambassador Golf Club! Chef Palanca (second from left), along with Sous Chefs David Aziz and Alex Merryfield and Master Chef Glenn van Blommestein, served up hors d’oeuvres such as shrimp tempura with sweet chili sauce, cucumber ceviche with scallops, shrimp and fresh dill strawberries with goat cheese, oven roasted pizza and delicious cream puffs.

Since it was “Ladies Night” there were plenty of men on site catering to the 200 female guests in attendance, including Wayne Bentley from Riedel, the wine glass company. Peter, left, and Ralph Vitti have high hopes for their third restaurant, Spago Trattoria, inside Caesars Windsor, to carry on the family legacy, which started in 1990. Their new location opened in September, conveniently located adjacent to the Augustus Hotel lobby, but other locations can be found at 690 Erie Street East and 3850 Dougall Avenue in Windsor.
