Miss manners?
If your teenagers’ table manners leave something to be desired — or you just want to instill a love of fine dining and social graces before they get completely stuck in a drive-through mindset — consider an early holiday present: The Mansion on Turtle Creek’s upcoming Teen’s Etiquette Class on Nov. 11. The two-hour class is taught by etiquette expert Colleen Rickenbacher and includes a three-course lunch prepared by executive chef John Tesar, as well as a copy of that foodie must-have reference, The Food Lover’s Companion.
In addition to teaching kids how to navigate the cutlery minefield and the finer points of the finger bowl, the class will address the fading art of the thank-you note and proper cell-phone manners. The class costs $60 and begins at 11:30 a.m. Reservations are required; call 214-559-2100.
