The Food

The affordable menu's inspiration stems from retro party appetizers and Midwest hunting lodges. Take the three best starters: nicely gamey wild boar pâté served with a few smashed raspberries and cornichon; baked artichoke dip thick with chokes; and Devils on Horseback--savory blue cheese-stuffed prunes wrapped with bacon.

Nothing like coming back to the Midwest hunting lodge after a day in the field to have some boar pâté and stuffed prunes. Yummy and very Midwestern. (Have these people ever been west of the Hudson?)

Isn't stuffed prunes an English concoction? I remember the Two Fat Ladies making them, on The Food Network.

Where's the venison, Elk, Moose, Wild Turkey, Trout, perch, and Salmon?

Must be a Midwest hunting lodge that the Heinz Kerrys frequent.

I once ordered enchiladas at a Columbus Street place at about 74th street in NYC. My wife encouraged this since I am a Texan. It was foolish thing to do. It was a corn tortilla. After that it got really bad. Stuffed with cream cheese, with little dark things in it, I thought flies at first, but they were raisins. It was Godawful.

Yeah, I was about to say... The Midwest "hunting lodges" I've seen tended more towards T-bones and Budweiser.
