Show Me How You Burlesque!... with Food!

If you've seen the movie BURLESQUE and you remember the party scene... Eric Dane brings Christina Aguilera to his house for appetizers and wine.  The kitchen is full of tasty treats and Eric carries a tray down the staircase with him...
I thought I would cher a copy of the menu we created.
These might make some interesting new ideas for any holiday parties you may be planning.
