Main Course:
Southern fried chicken with bourbon mashed sweet potatoes and creamed collard greens; pulled braised short rib beefaroni with elbow macaroni, oven-roasted butternut squash, grape tomatoes and shallots in Merlot reduction; and foil-wrapped campfire fish with market vegetables, herb butter and housemade potato chips.
Dessert:
S'mores with chewy graham crackers and chile sauce; cornmeal-based Indian pudding made with molasses and spiced maple sour cream; and caramelized pear upside-down cake with cardamom whipped cream.
