Kellogg Mansion

noreply@blogger.com (music masters entertainment) — Sun, 09 Mar 2008 16:35:00 +0000

Roads leading to the W. K. Kellogg summer estate twist and turn with the lay of the land around Gull Lake. Cottages line narrow streets, marinas hug the shoreline and sailboats skim across the sapphire-blue water during the summer months as visitors make their way to this Michigan landmark located between Kalamazoo and Battle Creek.

Approaching the mansion, a beautiful Tudor style house built between 1925 and 1926, it felt to me like I was visiting a relative or lifelong friend instead of the home of the man who made dry cereal the mainstay of America’s breakfast table.

After all, we all grew up with Kellogg’s — the icons, commercials, and boxes of cereal and snack foods lining our pantry shelves.

Will Keith Kellogg and his second wife, Dr. Carrie Staines, built the house on the highest point overlooking the lake. The site includes a carriage house with chauffeur’s residence, a greenhouse with potting shed, a caretaker’s cottage, a boathouse, an authentic Dutch windmill and a lakeside pagoda — all situated on 32-acres.

Corey Sanford of Music Masters Entertainment Has worked on occasion at this venue and Highly recommends it for all events and weddings.

Hana K
Designer and Founder Hana Lang's career began, improbably, as she was preparing to attend Medical school in 1978. A chance meeting with her future husband, Pierre, just completing his Law degree at prestigious McGill, led to the pair stepping off their intended, individual career paths and, together, creating a new one - exciting, original and fresh. With Hana's design concepts and Pierre's experience in his family's fur business, Hana K's trademark concept of functional outerwear of exquisite style was established –a complete and gorgeous reinventing the concept of the coat. In 1980 Hana and Pierre opened their first showroom and factory on Seventh Avenue in New York, catering to both the retail and wholesale worlds. Respected retailers such as Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom and Saks Fifth Avenue all enthusiastically introduced their clientele to Hana K's sophisticated and sleek design. In 1995 Hana K expanded its horizons and moved west. Establishing new locations in Chicago and the surrounding area. Hana K's wide variety of styles, fabrics and colors offer men and women a stylish business look by day and glamour by night, custom-tailored to each and every lifestyle. Twenty five years after that first meeting, Hana and Pierre are still dedicated to providing the utmost in exquisite, one of a kind coats. Featherweight shearling, opulent cashmere, elegant raincoat or fabulous fur - Hana K provides the very best in comfort, durability and detail. You almost can't call them mere coats - Hana K's designs dwell in a special class of their own.

Pastiche @ Blackbird

noreply@blogger.com (music masters entertainment) — Fri, 28 Dec 2007 04:37:00 +0000

JJPCHICAGO & MUSIC MASTERS

PRESENT PASTICHE

Artist Corey Sanford and Owner of JJP Chicago Julia Jacobs have teamed up for yet another event at Blackbird. This event displayed a wide variety of talent portrayed by this creative duo ranging from the literary arts, murals, and music.

pastiche [pas‐teesh] A dramatic, literary, or musical piece openly imitating the previous works of other artists, often with satirical intent.

Food for this event was provivded by Chef Mike Sheerin

As Blackbird’s first Chef de Cuisine, Mike Sheerin steps up to the stoves of one of Chicago’s most beloved and respected restaurants. To watch his easy manner and quiet confidence, though, you wouldn’t know that this 30-year-old has taken on such a responsibility and is now being closely watch by a curious culinary community. Sheerin’s cuisine is a delicate departure from that of Executive Chef Paul Kahan, and yet he seems to carry on Kahan’s uncanny ability to make quietly revolutionary food.

Recently, Sheerin shook up the menu with disarmingly pedestrian ingredients, such as garnishing parsnip soup with puffed rice (simply fried in oil and seasoned), as well head-turning preparations, such as his delicious bacon caramel and smoked grapes with venison, and a crisply bitter radicchio sauce with pike. His fried shallot broth, served with lamb and butternut squash panisse riff on traditional preparations in a most modern way.

Sheerin comes to Blackbird from Kahan’s friend Wylie Dufresne and WD-50, where he worked as sous chef for 3 1/2 years. Prior to working at WD-50, Sheerin worked at Lutece, Atlas and Jean Georges in New York. In his hometown of Chicago, he worked at Everest.

Sheerin has a Bachelor of Culinary Arts from Grand Rapids Community College.

Tim Dahl

Tim Dahl, Pastry Chef at Chicago’s nationally renowned Blackbird, finds his pastry passion in the singular flavors that can be showcased in a dish. Unlike savory food, where meats, vegetables, sauces and the like all compete for attention, pastries can concentrate on just one perfectly ripe fruit and the adept Pastry Chef can build the entire dish around it. At a restaurant like Blackbird, where seasonality is a religion, a pastry chef with Tim Dahl’s focus can really shine.

Thirty three, the Madison, Wisconsin-born Dahl comes to Blackbird from Naha, where he was pastry chef for three years. Prior to Naha, Dahl worked at Nomi and Restaurant Magnus in Madison. It was at the latter that Dahl learned the beauty of seasonal produce, “we used to go to the Dane County Market every Saturday and pick out what we were going to cook for the week. It was amazing and a great education in the importance of seasonality.

Often incorporating root vegetables, olives and other hallmarks of the savory kitchen in his pastries, Dahl has a firm foundation in the savory kitchen from 10 years of experience in various restaurants in Wisconsin and North Carolina. He began to make the switch when the “bread guy” didn’t show up for work one day and Tim took over.

Dahl graduated with a Bachelor in Hospitality Management and Food Science from the University of Wisconsin, Stout. His culinary degree began first at Kendall and then to Le Cordon Bleu.

It's also nice to know that Corey Sanford owner of musicmastersrock.com has made his way through this incredible venue.

Hey Corey –

We are back from the honeymoon and finally starting to recover from the wedding. Everything was a huge success that night and we got a lot of compliments on you and all of your music. You did a great job and really helped make the night that much better.

One thing I wanted to check is to see if you had a list of all the songs that you actually did play that night? If it’s something you could burn to a CD great, if it’s just the playlist (in any particular order) that would be great too. I’m not sure if this something you would have record of, but wanted to check before it’s too late. I’d like to keep track of this info for posterity’s sake if possible. Thanks again for a great job and I hope you had a good time as well.

I’ve attached a picture I thought you might like from our honeymoon of the house DJ at the place we stayed. This was taken one night at sunset having cocktails. The resort has a resident traveling DJ that rotates a few months at a time. The guy they brought in when we were there in addition to the resident was DJ Chuck Love, who we actually hung out with a lot as there weren’t any Americans there. He was a super cool guy and very talented. You should check him out. Catch you later…

Andy,
Thanks for the compliments. It was my pleasure. I had a lot of fun as well. You have a great family and some wonderful friends. I hope Meaghan's mother is recovering well. I was happy she was able to make it.

By the looks of that sunset and the happiness I saw your wedding night I'm sure you had an incredible time. However, next time you send a photo with a lovely sunset make sure it's your beautiful wife in the picture please. lol.

If you want to view your song list it is still available to you. I think I still have your cocktail cd and would have no problem putting together a few more discs for you. If you don't mind them in mp3 form it would be easier for me just to put them on dvd. Then you can make your own compilations from what I send you. Also I have Chuck Love's newest double disc OM mix. I will send you that as well. I have two very busy weeks ahead of me so I will need a little time to put things together if that's ok.

Best,

Corey Sanford

No problem Corey, glad to do it. If you ever need a reference in the future, by all means you can use us. MP3/DVD sounds great to me, thanks for including Chuck’s stuff too. I’m going to hook up with him the next time he’s in town and will let you know. He played at the Green Dolphin evidently right around our wedding just before heading to the Maldives where we met him. What I would really like is a copy of the cocktail hour CD and then what you actually played for the dance part of the reception. If you did an actual CD for the dinner I supposed it would be good to include that as well if it’s not too much trouble. If not, I’m not too concerned about that. I wasn’t sure if you hit the whole playlist we had or if there was other stuff that got mixed in as well. I was more interested in what was actually played vs. what we put on the list. I certainly understand you are busy so whatever works for you to get this complete is fine by me. Thanks again,

Andy

I actually had that photo you mentioned so I had to include it along with us, Chuck and his girlfriend Batia ;-)

"Hana K and its designers set the fashion dialogue in fur.

Music Masters Entertainment has redefined the "Wedding Deejay." For decades this profession has had the stereotype of being lame and cheesy. A deejay's performance has had the canned qualities of using props, playing the same music time and time again, and cracking bad jokes on the mic in thier wrinkled faded tux. What bride with any fashion sense and style would spend thousands of dollars to throw a party and have awful entertainment? Music Masters Entertainment is the only solution for todays "Modern Bride."
