Mike and Cathy Corey celebrated their 50th wedding aniversary with "family and friends" this past weekend. "
G"iordano's pizza on Friday evening; "
G"ibson's Restaurant on Saturday evening and "
G"ioco Restaurant on Sunday evening.
Not sure what the "
G"-restaurants thing was but I'll find out...
We joined the group on Sunday evening as world reknown Executive Chef Gaetano Ascione had his team working to produce the most amazing italian food for the private party. Wow is all I can say!!

It all started when we were escorted into and through the restaurant (to the private room) by a bagpiper ... how cool is that?
For the rest of the evening this singer / accordian player entertained us - we all were singing, and dancing broke out around the room ... "
O sole mio" ...
The kitchen kept sending out plates of northern Italian fare - each got better as the evening went along...allowing for loads of conversation between dishes ...and the wine was flowing...
Cool restaurant - located in the south loop of Chicago. Here's Pat and some of the tables of people behind her... probably 50-75 people all together.
...Cathy and Mike - such wonderful and influential people in our lives - we were so fortunate to have been invited to share in their celebration. Amazing and very memorable evening.
