Bette Midler is about to end her run at Caesar's Palace at the end of this month. I've had the opportunity to see the show 3 times and I have loved it just the same each time. It is really great!
Well, last night, Bette was doing a book signing after her show, so I went to Caesar's and stood in line for about 2 hours to get a chance to meet her. Let me just say, she is an absolute delight! So nice, so sweet and so chatty!
To give you a little background information, all of the backup dancers for Bette's show are called the "Caesar Salad Girls", served with as little dressing as possible. So as a promotion back in April of 2009, I read in the paper that there was a competition at Whole Foods called the Bette Midler's Salad Competition and it was being judged by the Caesar Salad Dancers. Well, you know that I got busy writing my recipe and submitting! I created the "Christopher Todd Divine Italian Taco Salad", and it was chosen as one of the 5 finalist! Being a finalist, I was given tickets to Bette's show, but since I didn't win first prize, which was a sit down meet and greet with Bette, I was still a little upset!
So, at the signing, I printed off a copy of the recipe and took it to her. Not knowing if it will ever happen or not, she said, "that sounds absolutely divine and I assure you I will try it"! She then signed my book, To Christopher--Can't wait to try that Salad! It was great fun and a great memento to keep forever!
Thanks Bette for the great experience!
