Downton Abbey Dinners

‎01-25-2015 08:24 PM

Don't forget to check out the link below. http://lex18avl.com/additional-downton-abbey-vintage-banquets-february-2015/

The Asheville Southern Appalachian Restaurant, Moonshine Bar and Supper Club is drawing bigger crowds as the Masterpiece Theater series "Downton Abbey" becomes more popular. Lex18 hosts exclusive vintage costume dinner parties on Sunday nights, along with a viewing of the show.

Guests are invited to come dressed in the proper attire for the 1924-themed evening. Character actors from the show and the time period, including relatives of the Vanderbilts, host the party. A storyline they act out connects the Asheville dining setting to the events in the show. The entire menu, as well, is inspired by the early 20th century.
Owners at Lex18 had to add additional dates throughout the month of February because tickets sold out so fast.

I wouldn't know the first thing about dining protocol using over 5 pieces of cutlery.

Deep, rule of thumb is start from the outside and work your way in. Take cues from the host/hostess.

In 6th grade we had an after school ballroom dancing and etiquette class. We learned outside-in and then above the platter.

Those dining establishment owners must be brilliant to capitalize on the popularity of Downton Abbey. January is a slow month for most restaurants so they found a way to improve their bottom line. Sounds like fun.

Don't forget to use the fork in your left hand and knife in the right hand. Difficult if you are not left handed.

I sounds wonderful! I would be making reservations immediately if I didn't have to travel that far

The price is unbelievably low!
