Creole Christmas Dinner
Lotsa holiday things happening around the cafe, and I find myself with less time to blog! Still, last week we served 70-some guests to a Five Course Autumn Harvest dinner and I am here to report. These dinners are featured here at the cafe and showcase a different thematic menu each month. If you've missed them in the past, don't wait to place your reservation (at info@eclipsechocolat.com) for our next on December 13th: Creole Christmas. Here's the line-up:
Fried Plantains with Chile-Burnt Caramel Dipping Sauce
Crawfish Bisque with White Chocolate Olive Oil Crostini
Dirty Rice with Cocoa-Bacon and Pepper Melody
Chicken Jambalaya with Smoke Beef-Cocoa Nib Sausage
Beignets with Dark Chocolate Chicory Drizzle
Until then, allow me to temp you with our last dinner:
