GourmetStation Introduces A Unique Valentine's Day Gourmet Dinner Gift
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) January 22, 2006
GourmetStation, the premier provider of upscale gourmet dinners delivered nationally, announced today the introduction of their Valentine’s Day 2006 Fantasy Menu. Romantics of all ages are seeking ways to impress their significant other with a unique Valentine’s Day gift or Valentine’s Day dinner. GourmetStation has the answer for both. With dinner packages from five romance menus, patrons may escape busy restaurants or just create a romantic gourmet experience at home.
The four-course dinner menu has been developed with a European flair and features artisan bread, savory soups, entrees with sauces and side vegetable, dessert, and European blend coffee with after-dinner candy. Other romance menus feature Parisian, Tuscan, Cajun, and Fusion cuisine.
“Our goal this Valentine’s Day is to provide a total romance experience,” says Founder & President Donna Lynes-Miller. “All four-course romance menus include a heart-shaped floating candle inscribed with ‘love’, matches, and a Valentine poem including the history of Valentine’s Day.” Lynes-Miller goes on to explain, “The station in GourmetStation alludes to a turn of the century railway station where patrons may take a culinary adventure to romantic destinations like Paris or Tuscany. Our brand is all about imagination and so is Valentine’s Day.” GourmetStation’s three- and four-course dinners are delivered in gift packaging depicting the romantic railway station.
