A few weeks ago we hosted an incredibly unique group of guests called the Charlie Russell Riders. Basically, they are an old man fraternity/club who happen to be incredibly wealthy. About 75 of them stayed for the week and spent their time doing red-blooded manly things like shoot guns on horseback, smoke cigars, talk about how much money they have (at least ten of them were billionaires), flirt with all the young girls, and drink really expensive wine.
Though they could be a bit rowdy and conceited, we all had fun with this glorified boy scouts club. Part of the fun was created by the staff in the first annual Dish Pit Showdown. Normally, there is one person assigned to washing dishes for every meal shift. Because the CRR group was so large and enjoyed massive amounts of food (16 oz. lobster one night, filet of bison another, and giant veal chops another) two different dish pitters were assigned for every meal. This quickly evolved into a contest between the five dish pit teams. Scores were based on efficiency, cleanliness, assistance to wait staff, and of course costumes and music. Every night I helped judge each team. (Yes, if you can believe it, this is my job.) The very last night of the competition, the incredible intelligent competitors turned the dish pit into a bar, providing all of our favorite drinks. This quickly escalated into an all night party for staff and guests alike. Needless to say, they won the competition.
