On the Menu: Alon Shaya's Foie Gras with Toasted Challah

Here’s a taste of what’s on tap today at the Beard House.

New Orleans Hot Spot, 7:00 P.M.
Alon Shaya, Shaya, New Orleans

The phrase “New Orleans cuisine” may not conjure visions of hummus with harissa and lamb ragù in lieu of classic Creole fare. Yet some of the city’s most coveted tables are at Alon Shaya’s eponymous eatery, where he blends the indigenous flavors of Israel with Louisiana culinary traditions—garnering widespread acclaim, including our 2016 medallion for Best New Restaurant. Get a taste of his lauded fare tonight with dishes like Crispy Duck Bisteeya; Hummus with Lamb Ragù, Harissa, and Crispy Garbanzo Beans; and Foie Gras with Toasted Challah, Rose Tahini, and Carob Molasses.
