Liberty Science Center hosted a dinner inspired by the last meal served on the Titanic to celebrate the opening of "Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition."

On April 14, 1912, first-class passengers sat down for the 10-course feast, featuring a range of dishes. The menu was preserved, and now over 100 years later, guests tried a seven-course reinterpretation.

"More than anything, it was really exciting because as a chef, as a professional in culinary world, you don't get to do these kinds of historic dinners very often," said renown cook and author Gail Simmons, who created the multicourse dinner.

"It was intimidating when they first came to me with this proposal, they we're going to do a dinner like this, I had a lot of questions," said Simmons.

Before dinner guests walked through the exhibit, serving as a reminder of what the evening is about.

"Most of all reminds you of the humanity of the night," said Simmons. "Not just people who ate the meal but people who cooked the meal, dozens of cooks, servers, dishwashers behind the scenes and part of experience."

The meal set out to honor that dinner in a modern way.

"Sauces aren't quite so heavy, use a little more citrus vinaigrette as opposed to cream sauce to lighten up and give us a relief so we can get through so much food," said Simmons.

The evening gave guests a chance to step back into history and learn more about the Titanic and the passengers on the ship.

"It allows you to have a window to culture, what people were living like eating like thinking about back then and how far we've come and the innovations and also similarities," said Simmons.
