Several weeks ago, I got a notification in my email that offered a special deal. A picnic basket for 2 was $87 if ordered before a certain date. Since there were 4 of us in the box seats, we ordered 2 of the Pan Seared Flat Iron Steak with Horseradish Cream and Roasted Garlic Aioli. These came with an Heirloom Tomato Salad with shaved onions, basil, and extra virgin olive oil. For side dish, we had herb marinated Asparagus with Manchego cheese and almonds. There were 2 French rolls with butter, country style Potato salad, a variety of cheeses with apricots and walnuts and an assortment of chocolate truffles.
Everything was delicious. The only thing I did not enjoy were the truffles; they had a nutty flavor which I didn't care for. We were impressed with the cutlery. They were made of wood, not plastic. I have never seen that before. The black plastic plates were as classy as you can get for the venue. These boxes are not very roomy and it takes careful planning on the layout. The best part about ordering your food is that it gets delivered to your box. We didn't have to bring coolers, baskets, etc. I just brought a bottle of champagne to go with the gourmet dinner.
If you are lucky enough to get a box, check out the Patina Group Dining at the Hollywood Bowl. You can view their menu on the Internet. In addition to the picnic baskets, they have a 3 course menu, or you can order a la carte or even family style dinners and platters.
By the way, the show was lively and entertaining. It made us feel young again and brought us back to the 60's. Those were the days when music had melody and beat. Music was.....Music.
