This month, our chefs are bringing a little something extra to the holiday table. From reimagining the traditional Thanksgiving main to finding new ways to add flavor to breads, meats and holiday spreads, Chef Ian and Chef Nichole are sharing ideas designed to inspire your seasonal menus. Take a fresh look at familiar holiday ingredients and find a few new ways to make them your own.

Forget the Turkey
Looking for something a little different for the holiday table? Chef Ian’s Oxtail Gnocchi brings the rich, slow-cooked flavors of a traditional holiday meal into a dish that feels elevated and unexpected. Tender braised oxtail is paired with rustic potato gnocchi, oyster mushrooms, stracciatella, cipollini onions and a rich demi-glace, finished with crisp onions and toasted ciabatta. It’s a hearty alternative to the traditional turkey dinner and a great way to bring something new to the holiday menu.

Butter Makes Everything Better
Chef Nichole is putting a holiday spin on a classic with House-made Compound Butters. From warm bread service and butter boards to finishing turkeys, steaks and roasted meats, compound butter is an easy way to add flavor and a little something extra to holiday dishes. Create seasonal combinations with herbs, spices, honey, roasted garlic or other holiday-inspired flavors and use them across the menu for a simple, versatile upgrade.
