The Historic Eureka Inn has teamed up with Derek Smithpeters of DSP Creations Unlimited, to bring the first of four Mystery Dinners to Jonesborough, Tennessee.ย This hilarious mystery dinner will take place at the Historic Eureka Inn. โFuneral For a Gangsterโ was written by Eileen Moushey and produced for Special Arrangement by Mysteries By Moushey, Inc.
Guests will be transported back in time to 1928, the Inn becomes a speakeasy, โRubyโs Placeโ. Vito โThe Gutโ Marzetti has been gunned down in a gangland slaying right afterย indulging in his third serving of moo goo gai pan. Audience members gather with his surviving family to mourn the reputed mobster. Participants will join in the spirit of fun byย sharing their โeulogiesโ for the dearly departed Vito, all while wearing their best Twenties costumes.
Guests become amateur detectives, will witness dastardly deeds, personally interrogate suspects, and search the Inn for clues. A 4-course Italian meal will be served before theย โservicesโ begin. Blake Yarbrough, Inn Keeper at the Eureka, has created a delightfully decadent menu! Guests can choose from a caesar or mixed greens salad, spaghettiย bolognese or fettuccine alfredo with broccoli, chicken marsala or caprese stuffed portobello mushroom, all entrees will be served with sautรฉed green beans and garlic mashed potatoes, the dessert is a cannoliย poke cake and is served to our sleuths while they figure out โwhodunitโ!
