IT was fun, food and flair as Marriott Hotel Manila launched its month long celebration of the Fourth of July with “All American All Good” at the Manila Ballroom.
US Ambassador Philip Goldberg graced the occasion, along with other officials from the US Embassy. Guests wore red, white and blue as they treated themselves to a lavish feast prepared by Marriott Executive Chef Meik Brammer and guest chef John Havens, corporate chef of Certified Angus Beef. The buffet consisted of favorite all-American dishes, including tortillas with Texas chili, shrimp gumbo with homemade sausage; jambalaya; homemade corn bread with cheese and jalapeño; beef and pork spareribs with homemade barbecue sauce; mini beef sliders; and cupcakes. Also free-flowing were wines from Beringer, Jack Daniel’s whisky cocktails and Budweiser beer.

It was not all food that night. There were also chocolate sculptures of Hollywood legends, like Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe and James Dean. At the center of the ballroom, Harley-Davidson bikes and RJ guitars were also on display. Entertaining guests were performances by Spectacular, a group of acrobats and dancers courtesy of Resorts World Manila.
