So what do you do when a large dinner party turns into an intimate dinner for five? You step up the luxe. And what if then, on the day before, a guests family health emergency makes it a *really* intimate dinner for three? Solider on, I suppose, and live it up. Maybe add a cigar or two. Small portions and lots of courses. Hence: The 2015 Lindenberger Woo Westervelt Fete, paced over three or four hours*: 1. French 75 cocktail (champagne, gin, etc.) Shrimp boiled in salted water, lemon and cocktail sauce. 2. Perfect Pear Salad (with baby spinach) 3.Oyster Soup — oysters from Rappahannock River 4. Manhattans with FEW Rye and Carpanos Antica Formula sweet vermouth, Makers Mark cherries (a) Roasted Fat and Juicy Monk Fish sliced three ways with Green Beans sautéed with pancetta (b) Tiny Filet of Beef, bacon-wrapped and dry aged 21 days Potato-Parmesan Pave (potatoes sliced, and tossed with creme, then layered in a pan with layers of grated parmesan) Intermission — Rye Witch cocktails (rye, orange peels, sherry, herbal liqueur, orange bitters, etc) 5. Kerns authentic Kentucky Derby Pie with ice creme (straight from the 502) 6.
