>> * corn cake with a thin bacon sheet flavored with black pepper and
>> coriander, topped with a tiny bit of maple foam and shredded crispy

>>
>>
>> * fresh tomato-garlic soup with grilled eggplant and zucchini
>>
>>
>> * sous vide elk tenderloin with Cumberland sauce accompanied by
>> vegetable quenelles: turnips, parsnips, carrots, and pattypan squash
>> all cut into spheroids and caramelized in butter
>>
>>
>> * Dessert trio:
>> - chocolate truffle flavored with raisin-infused brandy
>> - panna cotta with coffee and cardamom, topped with a pistachio
>> gelée - pot de creme flavored with cinnamon and mahleb (a spice
>> made from the
>> pits of sour cherries)
