Tuesday (April 24, 2018) evening's menu is a careful study in American cuisine with "nuances of French influence." Comerford drew inspiration from "the wondrous first harvest of spring," for the first course, which features greens from the White House kitchen garden, first planted by Michelle Obama and a tradition carried on by Melania Trump.
Guests will dine on a goat cheese gateau, tomato jam, and buttermilk biscuit crumbles before moving on to a Cajun-inspired main course of spring lamb and Carolina gold rice jambalaya. For dessert, a nectarine tart "infused with White House honey and accented by crème fraîche ice cream."
Wine selection was also chosen with the French-American friendship in mind. The Domaine Serene Chardonnay "Evenstad Reserve" 2015 was grown from French plants from Dijon "that thrive in the volcanic Oregon soil." The Domaine Drouhin Pinot Noir "Laurène" 2014 "uses the motto 'French soul--Oregon soil.'"
