The 4/20 Table proved to be quite the experience! We were very excited to host a Broad Buds event, and what better theme for our infused dinner than The 4/20 Table! Broad Buds, in our usual fashion, wanted to elevate the experience of a typical dinner party so we created something truly special for our cannabis community. A night of cannabis-infused, gourmet food and plenty of greenery to share among friends was the goal, and we achieved just that. A group of eager attendees were invited to experience a full night of buds, both of the natural and social variety. Walking into the event space immediately felt like stepping into a coffeeshop in Amsterdam, entrancing music and enticing aromas. The 4/20 Table was held in a very private and unique setting so that guests were comfortable to chill and get ready for the night ahead. Multiple lounge area allows guests to move and mingle throughout the space and delight in the many goodies available. Everything is canna-centric with Broad Buds and our events do not disappoint. The space is decked out with pictures of weed culture from around the world, cannabis-focused magazines for perusal and a Budtender to provide you with a selection of buds and mocktails.
Upon arrival, guests are invited to enjoy a happy “and high” hour. Come with old friends or meet new friends, sit around the lounge to chat and nosh to help whet your appetite. Guests at The 4/20 Table enjoyed a charcuterie board with both infused and non-infused elements to help set the tone for a leisurely and relaxing meal. I always love the idea of using charcuterie at a dinner party because it emphasizes the idea of community and sharing, which parallels what cannabis is all about!
Following the happy “and high” hour, dinner was served. Guests gathered around the table to enjoy a cannabis-infused soup to start. Continuing to elevate all experiences, we used authentic and unique ingredients from around the world to infuse with and into our dishes. The first course was a delicious pea and Brazilian cashew soup with crème fraiche and roasted beet chip. Once guests finish a course, they are invited back to the lounge areas to enjoy a smoke break between courses to help digest. The space is a special one, and we create an atmosphere that is inviting and intimate, allowing people to just absorb the night or engage with others.
Next was the main entrée of leg of lamb with Brazilian honey glazed carrots over garlic mashed potatoes and apricot gravy. After another digestion break, then came the dessert! Unfortunately, by that time, my mind was elsewhere and no pictures of dessert were taken before eaten. I can tell you, though, that they were delicious and packed quite a punch to finish off the night. We served the classic cannabis cookies two ways: cannabis chocolate cookie dough ice cream and chocolate mousse with cookie crumble and fresh whipped cream. By that time some guests were already feeling the affects and decided to take their desserts home. They were able to enjoy the evening to the fullest and still have a treat for later and remember the night fondly.
The biggest success of the night was that all guests had a great time and thoroughly experienced The 4/20 Table without getting too medicated. We are attentive to our guests making sure everyone is reaching the perfect heights. A Broad Buds hosted event can be an amazing one, especially knowing that an experience such as this is unique for each person. We are engaged in the process with our guests to ensure that no one is feeling the wrong vibes, which is hard to do at a Broad Buds event. A multi-course, infused dinner served in an intimate, private setting enhanced with the Broad Buds touch is a night sure to elevate the standard of high dining.
