Rachel Gesel and Sydney Reich started the night off with their appetizer of Elk-Bison Meatball stuffed with Gorgonzola and Dates, Marinated Top Sirloin, Rocky Mountain Oyster Brochettes with Blueberry sauce two ways.
Next up were Riley Allen and Nate Brashear who served up the main course, which consisted of a Pan Seared Blackened Halibut, fresh Asparagus, Fregola Pasta with Roasted Red Pepper Coulis and Fried Basil.
