EAST OF EDEN

(september 12, 2026)

FIRST COURSE - Fresh Beginnings

Cold Melon Corn Salad

Watermelon, cantaloupe, and honeydew with raw sweet corn, crushed peanuts, over a pool of soy, ginger, lemongrass, sesame dressing, finished with crispy fried shallots. Bright, cool, and untouched by what’s to come — the valley before the fall.

SECOND COURSE — Cathy Ames

Bresaola & Blood Beets

Ribbons of bresaola over arugula and parmesan, with pickled beets, lemon, and olive oil, homemade focaccia on the side - a sexy & dark appearance

THIRD COURSE — Westward

Muscadine Granita

A palate cleanser of muscadine grape, marking Adam’s journey into Georgia — a pause between what was and what’s about to be built.

FOURTH COURSE — Lee’s Timshel Soup

Chinese Chicken Soup in Acorn Squash

Slow-cooked chicken in a traditional Chinese preparation of green onion, ginger, soy, and bok choy, served in an acorn squash, topped with fried wontons

FIFTH COURSE — Thou Mayest

Pistachio Fig Tartlette

Fig and pistachio tartlette with a side of buttermilk fig leaf infused ice cream- sweet with a thread of bitterness underneath. Not a happy ending, but a chosen one.
