Jeremiah Towers' Great New Year's Eve Menus From Way Back When

[weinoo]

Today, on his substack account "Out of the Oven," Jeremiah Tower was kind enough to share with us all a few of his classic New Year's Eve menus from the 80s and 90s. I'm not talking Chez Panisse; I'm talking Santa Fe Bar and Grill and Stars (perhaps my favorite restaurant in the US...like...ever).

 

Just a great chef, who tapped into the food zeitgeist of the times better than anyone, in my opinion. But it wasn't just the food; it was the mood, the service, the sexiness of the places, that really proved his ability to look ahead and see what we'd really want from a fun night out at a cool restaurant.  Keith McNally thanks Jeremiah for what he begat...literally.

 

Enjoy the menus...

It’s one thing to have a restaurant kitchen staff to produce a memorable New Years meal, but what about at home? All cooked there or some ordered in? Whichever, there might be oysters, foie gras, smoked sturgeon, crab, and chocolate.

At least.

Wow. Wish I'd been there

The most startling thing on the menu (to my eyes at least) is the price.
