Beginning during the final course, pastry chef Shanna O'Hea's "Dueling Spirit" dessert — Devil Dog ice cream sandwich and angel food cake with strawberry balsamic compote — Monroe will act as the spiritual messenger for the evening, revealing the Inn's paranormal history and choosing a few dinner guests to receive a personal reading.
