When you go to your high school prom, there is always one thing that stands out as your favorite memory or something that distinguishes the night from others. While for most schools that consists of dancing the night away, that one perfect dress, or that picture you took at pre, LFHS is a little different. Here, the one thing students seem to remember the most about prom is that famous tomato soup that is part of their dinner. While the Marriott downtown kept this item on the prom menu for years, the change in venue in 2017 has brought about a different menu. But don’t you worry, you still will get a spin on your favorite tomato soup.

Last Friday, myself and four other Student Council members from the junior class took a trip down to the Hyatt Regency O’hare where the 2017 Prom will be held. After nearly a two hour, ten course meal and a lot of decision making, we finally came to a conclusion to make the most delicious menu. The four course meal consists of the following:

First Course (soup):

A Cream of Tomato Soup with a Cheddar Crostini

Second Course (salad):
A Mediterranean Salad: Romaine, Cucumbers, Tomatoes, Kalamata Olives, Feta cheese

For the Third Course (entreé) you have the choice of:

Braised Beef Short Rib with Natural Jus. White Cheddar & Chive Whipped Potatoes and Roasted Rosemary Vegetables

Herb Roasted Chicken with a Dijon Cream Sauce. Roasted Fingerling Potatoes and Roasted Vegetables

A Roasted Vegetable Napoleon. Seared Tofu with a Portabello Mushroom base. Assorted Vegetables with a Marinara Sauce.

*Bonus it’s vegetarian and vegan!

Fourth Course (dessert):

Lemon Mascarpone Cheesecake with Lavender Honey

The 2017 Prom menu has a great variety of options, all of which are delicious and prepared fresh. So look forward to enjoying your night and the four course meal that comes with.
