[title type="h3"]Farewell Dinner For Andrew Jackson[/title]
Now that Colonel Andrew Jackson defeated the bloody British in the town of New Orleans a month ago for the 200th time, he is wrapping up his operation and leaving the city. Using a virtual time machine, Chef John Folse is staging the kind of meal (adjusted for taste inflation) that the future President would have held if he were really with us today. It's a fundraiser for the culinary program at Nicholls State University. (Folse is one of its founders, and his name is attached to the Nicholls culinary school. It's also the second such dinner in a series called "The Dinner of the Century." Here's the menu:Mixed Game Pâté on Brioche
Smoked Fish and Vegetable Terrine on Toast
Cured Breast of Goose Fruit Compote

The dinner goes off this Sunday, March 8, beginning at 6 p.m. in the Grand Ballroom of the Royal Sonesta Hotel (which is also the home for John Folse's Restaurant R'Evolution). The price is $250, inclusive of tax, tip, wines, and the dinner.
