Dishes will be served all at the same time, and dirty plates will be cleared between each course. Invitation: The invitation will effectively communicate the theme of our restaurant with illustration and graphics. It will be simple, with a brown and neutral color scheme. It will include a welcoming invite, list of dinner hosts, time, date and location of the dinner, RSVP email, and instructions to include any allergies/dietary restrictions Guest Menu: The menu will be projected in the front of the room in order to conserve paper.

Oral Presentation The oral presentation will occur at the duration of the meal and be separated into two components. The first component will be a brief, yet educational overview of diabetes as a disease. Within this section, the metabolic disorder will be described as abnormalities found within the blood glucose levels. There are only two causes resulting in these abnormalities. The first being a deficient insulin production, and the second being a lack of action on the target cells in the body. As a result, an individual with diabetes have the potential for high glucose levels as well as high sugar levels in the blood. The maintenance of this disease involves a healthy lifestyle to keep glucose and sugar levels within acceptable target ranges. This essentially prevents most complications associated with diabetes. However, a healthy lifestyle isn’t the only aspect to be monitored. Since diabetes results in high blood glucose levels, extra attention must be focused on the carbohydrate intake levels for overall management.
Oral Presentation, cont. Following the previous discussion, guest will then be given an overview of the three forms of Diabetes: Type One, Type Two, and Gestational Diabetes. In the case of Type One Diabetes, a deficient insulin production is detected resulting in the low and/or high levels of blood glucose levels. These low and/or high levels can be fatal in most cases. In the case of Type Two Diabetes monitoring the diet can result in proper control of sugar levels, this eliminating the need for medications as well as prolonging complication risks. Lastly, Gestational diabetes are found in women that are pregnant due to the requirement of excess insulin. The excess insulin is used to take care of the mother’s higher blood sugar levels, providing the fetus with adequate nutrition. This form of Diabetes is typically detected in the second trimester of the pregnancy and is related to pregnancy induced hypertension. At the final conclusion of the Oral dinner presentation, guests will see a slide documenting and citing all the references used for the educational materials.
Nutrition Constraint Explanation Our list shows that there are four vegetarians that will have a tofu option instead of pork. The tofu will have the same marinade components and will be cooked in a similar fashion so as not to ostracize the diet to a separate meal. Bacon will be left out of the broccoli salad. There is one person who is gluten, dairy, and egg free. This guest will receive a salad with no cheese and a gluten-free cracker will be offered for the tapenade starter. Whipped cream will also be left out of the desert. Accommodations will be made for additional guests not yet heard from.
