New Year's Eve @ The Pelican Club

New Years' Eve @ Pelican Club

No other restaurant makes more of the Reveillon season than Chef Richard Hughes' Pelican Club. He keeps serving his comprehensive Reveillon menu for weeks after the others have cut it out. Embedded in that selection is a New Year's Eve dinner that I expect I would like. And you probably would, too. Here it is, a magnificent feast perfect for the season,
