Chef Christopher Kearse’s French AF Series Excites Taste Buds with “La Fête de La Citrouille & Truffe,” a French feast emphasizing pumpkin and truffle.
Under Chef Christopher Kearse’s expert direction, Forsythia once again graces our culinary scene with its much-anticipated French AF Series. The latest edition, “La Fête de La Citrouille & Truffe,” promises an evening draped in the opulent flavors of pumpkin and truffle, setting the stage on Wednesday, October 11.
The French AF Series is not just a dinner; it’s a sensory escapade into the heart of France. With La Fête de La Citrouille & Truffe, Kearse and his adept team transport patrons on a gastronomic odyssey, taking seasonal ingredients and casting them in the limelight with classic French techniques. And this October, it’s all about embracing autumn’s richness—pumpkin paired seamlessly with the earthy notes of truffle, highlighted alongside mussels, scallops, bone marrow, and quail.
The night starts with a riveting first course of pumpkin beer braised mussels, partnered with leeks, bacon, and a delectable black truffle tartine. As the evening progresses, diners will be treated to dishes such as the roasted scallop swathed in black truffle bone marrow butter and a delightful hay-roasted rabbit crêpe drenched in truffle honey. And what better way to draw the curtain than with a pumpkin and truffle brûlée?
Chef Kearse’s words encapsulate the sentiment perfectly: “Our latest prix fixe menu ‘La Fête de La Citrouille & Truffe’ is a celebration of autumn and the vibrant colors and rich flavors the season brings within French cuisine. It really allows our guests to experience the essence of fall through every bite.”
For those looking to elevate their dining experience, wine aficionado Brad Giuliano of MFW Wine Co. has handpicked wine pairings for an additional $65 per person. And he won’t just be behind the scenes—Giuliano will be present throughout the evening, guiding attendees through the harmonious dance of wine and food.
The La Fête de La Citrouille & Truffe experience is priced at $105 per person, excluding tax and tip. Reservations are highly recommended and can be made here.
