SCGS’s 50^th

Jamboree Birthday Bash!

Long before you arrive at our Jamboree’s 50^th Birthday Bash, the Jamboree committee has been busy making every experience extra special for you. Food is an essential part of a good experience. How often have you signed up for a big banquet dinner, only to think the food is going to be unpredictable, but the speaker will be worth it?

We at Jamboree think your dining experience should be as enjoyable as the speakers chosen for you to listen to while dining. We planned to make your meal experience unique by creating and tasting every item with the chef at the Marriott until the combinations were just right.

It was a fun day. We arrived with an appetite and remembered to not overindulge on any one item because many were tasted. We wanted our pallets as sharp on the first plate as the last. We taste tested using two beef, two chicken, and two vegetarian aficionados, a diverse crew. Remember what you see in these photos may not be in our final selections! We usually pick one of two in each category presented.

Chef Chris, formerly from the Santa Barbara Four Seasons Hotel, and his gracious staff at the Burbank Marriott presented the choices two at a time. The vegetarian’s tasted everything, except the meat. We tasted until we were content, rearranging starches and vegetables with different meats; nothing was to be overcooked or al dente! We wanted flavors,

fresh ingredients, and a flare of fabulous in our food!

When the tasting was completed, the menu was finalized for you with the combinations of foods we felt you would enjoy the most! Next, we assigned each meal to all six banquets. We will have three breakfast and three dinner speakers; you can already go to the Breakfast and Banquet section on the Jamboree website and view our delectable combinations. One of these incredible desserts made it in to a dinner banquet menu; can you figure out which one?
