Hi AJ! I’m a bit confused as to your “menu” list for Food & Wine Classic and the one on the Swan/Dolphin website. It appears you have included some of the items that were from previous years that aren’t available in this year’s event. A few I noticed were the Jager Schitzel, brown butter lobster & fried chicken from Picabu. Can you please clarify whose list is accurate as we are going this year and making up our to-do list as you suggested! 😉 Thanks so much!
Hi, Brenda! Looks like they removed a couple of items and added two desserts. We’ve updated our menu! Have a wonderful (and delicious) time!
Thank you so much, Sarah! Sorry to cause you the trouble, just didn’t want to get too excited about items that wouldn’t be there ;-). I really do appreciate your help and thanks to your team for all the wonderful news you bring us…I’m a huge fan!
Brenda, you’re so kind. It was no trouble at all!
