great, great party here at the city tavern in honor of marquis lafayette. the marquis de lafayette came to america aboard the tall ship hermione to announce the french fleet was on its way •.to help the us fight the british in the revolutionary war. the city tavern dinner will include four courses of traditional 18th century fare. the food we serve is all made here on the premises, from scratch, everyday the first dish is "salmagundi", a salad course made with european cucumbers bib lettuce and a traditional shrub dressing. and it's all topped off with a customary colonial ingredient there is something i've never done in my entire life. eat a flower. the entrÉes showcase ingredients that were plentiful in the eighteenth century•.like seafood from the delaware river. everything in the 18th century is very labor intense, so it really was from the farm to the table or in philadelphia from the river to the table. and for dessert, they use thomas jefferson's crÈme brÛlÉe recipe. mmmmhmm they gotta come to the dinner just for that. cheers to a taste of history! >>
