Does anyone have an American Idol themed show idea? I've searched the files and the forums and haven't come up with much. I thought I had seen something on here a while back - but I have no clue. Thanks for your help!

American Idol ShowA few random thoughts:

you can serve "star" foods, like stars and berries or northstars...

you could do a bunch of similar things like dip and ask them to vote for theor favorite...

you could find out what their special theme is that week and build on that - they have had Diana Ross, British Invasion... Maybe the show web site has a schedule for the guests??

I don't know... maybe these will get some other (better) ideas rolling...
 
Next American ChefYou could do something to the effect of having The Next American Chef at your party.
Try to get the guests involved with a demo and then have the ladies vote by secret ballot as to who should wear the PC apron as a consultant. If you have a tie, that is a plus. Give out small gifts to first, second and third and tell them all about the PC opportunity in front of everyone.

It would be fun and you could even give them index cards to read from about the host benefits, and give them steps to follow for the recipe they are preparing.
Each person has a seperate step and everyone can sample their tasty dish.

Just an idea!

Debbie :D
