Dear Friends,
We are thrilled to announce our Juneteenth dinner, Friday, June 19, at 7:30PM. The Hirose family has generously agreed to host us once more at their Little Tokyo restaurant, Azay (226 East First Street). The feast will begin with a favorite of ours, a Chef Edna Lewis-inspired she-crab soup topped with salmon roe and tarragon. Next is fried green tomatoes with remoulade, pickled okra, and mustard frills. My classic Southern biscuits and cheddar chive biscuits will be on the table throughout. For our main, we’ll be smothering Peads & Barnetts pork neck and serving it with glazed turnips, oyster dressing, and turnip greens. While we cannot accommodate all dietary restrictions, we will gladly provide smothered Cornish hen and pork-less greens for this course. And for dessert: lemon coconut chess pie with vanilla ice cream AND a tbd berry ice cream.
It’s been far too long since we’ve put one of these together and we eagerly await your presence.
As always, the pleasure will be ours.
Danielle and Pablo
