The Kel Smith

Jan 21

I need to tell you what Kel and I put away at The Publican tonight

themattsmith:

- 6 Chef’s selection oysters
- Ahi tuna crudo with persimmon-celery salsa verde
- Taste of 3 hams : Serrano, La quercia rossa, Edwards country ham
- Charcuterie plate with pork/fois gras terrine, Pork pie, head cheese, coppa, Morteau sausage
- Liverwurst on crusty bread
- Blood sausage with pears, onions and picked beets
- Suckling pig with grits, broccoli raab and anchovy-tomato vinaigrette


One of the best dinners I’ve ever had.

It was quite unexpected how much I loved all of this. I didn’t give the menu a fair shot at all. I mean - Ahi tuna? Yum. Ham? Yum. Liverwurst? Hell yeah. Blood sausage? Um, would you marry me?!?!

And the pig was the perfect dessert! 

What a great night!!!!
