““Ronny Miranda nailed his version of the classic comfort food of a bacon cheeseburger, keeping it simple, tasty, and juicy! His sides are excitingly creative and exotic with his Portuguese and Hawaiian influences. “ ”

“Chef Ronny’s Hunger Game Feast was apparently more difficult to develop than the title of the book/movie series would make you guess (unless everyone was truly hungry all the time). He read all the books and watched the movies and was only able to find a few instances where food was mentioned. With this small amount of information he created a delicious feast for us.
It began with a puffed pastry stuffed with wild mushrooms and proceeded onto a soup course made primarily with local sugar pumpkin and roasted seeds. The main course was a delicious “groosling” stew in which he used a WILD turkey as the primary ingredient! It was a rich mushroom broth-based stew with shredded turkey meat and various root vegetables included. The meal concluded with a “Purple Melon” Goat cheese - apple tart. The books specifically referenced purple melon which currently is non-existent. Chef Ronny’s Portuguese background inspired him to soak some winter melon in port and voila! - purple melon.
All in all a wonderful feast over which Chef Ronny gave us the various literary references for each course.”
