Thanksgiving Day dinner

[madbaker]

One of the few places open for Thanksgiving here is 301. Our menu was:

spicy Butternut Squash soup with creme fraiche and a fried sage leaf
Turkey leg confit salad with dried cranberries and persimmons
an intermezzo of lemon sorbet
Pan-roasted turkey breast with a yam cake, brioche stuffing, cranberry gelee, and greens from their garden
Pumpkin tart with lemon verbena chantilly.

Their intent was to do a more-or-less traditional dinner, but tweaked slightly. It was excellent.

(The server took pains to recommend eating the fried sage leaf. We're well familiar with the yumminess of fried sage leaves, having garnished food with them at Bardic.)
