Fête photos: Savor the Season '08

Good thing they weren't shilling any alcohol

Vibiana provided hallowed grounds—with disco lights

Beverly Hills Caviar, always on point

The people say, "Cheese!"...

...to the fromage display from Andrew's Cheese Shop

That flower was really a watermelon—courtesy of master carver, Jean-Marc Montjarret

This lovely lady is Renee Ward, the pastry chef for Brix@1601...

...and she made these truffle-pops

The Edison brought along the Green Fairy and her absinthe cart

Andre Guerrero of Max and the Oinkster was this year's honorary chef

Guerrero served the Oinkster's signature pastrami with a daub of mustard

Shrimp Firecracker from Guerrero's newly revamped Max restaurant

Boneyard Bistro's decadent deep-fried mac 'n' cheese

Himalayan salt rocks emitted a haunting glow

People flocked to the El Cholo table...

...for the house specialty, green corn tamale

Plenty of Singha to wash everything down

Fine, there was Dry Soda for teetotalers

Tasca Wine Bar had a fine showing with tosta of melted burrata and Serrano ham...

...as well as arancini of wild mushroom and black truffle topped with black truffled sauce. Molto bene, chef Nano!

Tanzore offered appe-and-dessert (tuna tartare on a lotus chip and chocolate cardamom cake) all on one plate

Desserts were well represented with Eli's Cheesecakes...

...truffle lollipops, this time from Jer-ne at the Ritz Carlton, Marina del Rey...

...and Madame Chocolat herself (psst, she's the one on the left)...

...who brought tons of chocolate, natch...

...as well as her handmade bon bons.

Everyone topped the night off with extra-heaping scoops of gelato from Tutti Gelati
