From criminal justice to culinary arts, Chef Aristide followed his dreams came to New York and appeared on Chopped, Bobby Flay and worked at the most prestigious restaurants in the city. Together the two have created a menu fit for royalty.

6th Course – MawMaw Vicky’s Gumbo & Grits
A heartwarming sixth course took us deep into the heart of the South with MawMaw Vickys Gumbo & Grits. The seafood gumbo broth filled with crawfish tails, gulf shrimp, and a seafood stock was beautifully complemented by Grits with lump crab, resulting in a soulful and comforting dish.
7th Course – Jalapeño Lime Margarita Sorbet
As we approached the penultimate course, we were treated to a palate-cleansing Jalapeño Lime Margarita Sorbet, a refreshing interlude that prepared us for the grand finale.
