"Start with fried oysters in cayenne butter sauce and horseradish crème fraîche, crispy sweetbreads with browned butter and sauce meunière or foie gras terrine with grilled, marinated fruit and crostini. Buttermilk-fried chicken comes over mashed potatoes with a splash of lemony sauce and basil chiffonade."
