Giovanni's Cafe- 10/09/09

The settings for Derby's Giovanni's Cafe night were much too dark! Still, I managed to pull off what was assigned to me. It was more generic than anything, save for the Amaretto cheesecake and cranberry orange scones. They served "gourmet s'mores" as well. When it comes to the word "gourmet" I think it's a loosely used term. Jelly Belly's are "gourmet" jelly beans. Grey Poupon is "gourmet" mustard. What makes them gourmet?- Higher standards above other products? Is it their unusual-ness? Is it the fact they cost much more? Can a generic brand of mustard be "gourmet?"
Anyhow, they also served banana foster with cinnamon fudge sauce- prepared in front of the clientele (aka- dorm students!). This included sauteed bananas and hot fudge. Their flavored coffee gave the word "cafe" more accuracy.

I didn't think I would get any decent photos as the lights had been turned too low. I was wrong. I got a few.
