| MAKING IT DIVALICIOUS |
| Jackie reinvented the dinner show.
|
"I decided if people wanted a 'dinner show', I
would give them one. And the critical difference between my
show, and the dinner shows and dinner theater I'd been to
in the past was the food. It was not going to be the churned-out,
mediocre slop masquerading as food that you get more often
than not at this type of show. It was going to be well thought
out, lovingly prepared, delicious food. I'd make sure of it
by overseeing it from conception to consumption myself. By
designing the menu, developing the recipes, training the sous
chefs, and tasting everything along the way, I could make
sure the final product was fantastic. I'd call it 'eatertainment'
and I would make food a integral part of the show's entertainment
as well."
|
| Jackie's debut 'eatertainment' show,
"The Fried Chicken Theory According to Jackie Gordon" featured
an evening of sweet soul music and sultry soul food. Guests
thoroughly indulged in a three-course feast for the senses.
It started with a choice of gumbos backed by a heavenly gospel
choir, followed by a fried chicken with all the fixin's buffet,
underscored by a swinging jazz sextet, and a finale of platters
of southern sweets set to Jackie's heart-ripping classic soul
music with her eight-piece band. Between the food and the music,
Jackie told amusing stories that actually entertained and even
educated the audience about the history of food and music. |
"It was a huge success. Tabasco and Melbourne-based Eat
More Poultry sponsored it. The crowds loved it! They ate
well, were thoroughly entertained and even learned a thing
or two."

"The Fried Chicken Theory According To Jackie Gordon"
has been produced numerous times for the public and corporate
events. Jackie has returned to New York and she launched her
new business, Divalicious, Inc., in February 2003. Her first
U.S. "Eatertainment" show, "sayCHEESE!",
debuted at the West Bank Cafe - Laurie Beechman on 42nd Street
in April 2004.
|
| Divalicious, Inc. expanded in October
2004 and now rents " the hottest party accessory of the
season" according to the Food Network, warm chocolate fountains!
|
"I was helping friends plan in their wedding in May,
2004. The groom-to-be, a notorious chocoholic, piped up,
' I want to have a chocolate fountain.' I said, 'There's
no such thing as a chocolate fountain. Don't be crazy!'
A week later, I'm at the Fancy Food Show and there it was
— a warm chocolate fountain with pretzels for dipping.
HEAVEN! I thought I must get one for my chocolate show.
Then, I couldn't find one to rent in New York. I thought,
'Hello — an "eatertainment" opportunity"
Now, we rent in and around New York City— it had to
be done!
|
| The chocolate fountain will be co-starring
in Jackie's 2005 eatertainment show, "Sex, Lies and Chocolate"
which will feature a tasting of the worlds favorite food with
music and a humorous interpretation of the facts.
Jackie hosts the TV show "Neighborhood Beat - BoCoCa"
on BCAT.
