There will be three courses, starting with a seafood stew, supposedly a favorite of Lincoln's, followed by "a brace of American birds" -- pheasant and duck served with sour cherry chutney and molasses sweet potatoes, inspired by Lincoln's childhood on the Kentucky- Indiana frontier. Dessert will be apple-cinnamon sponge cake and sweet cream glacé, and the wines will be from California's Duckhorns -- a Sauvignon Blanc from the family's Napa property and the "Goldeneye" Pinot Noir from its Mendocino property.
Seafood Stew, duck breast with cherry chutney, pheasant with wild rice stuffing, molasses whipped sweet potatoes, winter vegetables, and apple caramel cake with ice cream!
Washington, D.C.
Normally, executive chef Cristeta Comerford handles the dinners; news reports said the inaugural lunch was cooked by chef Shannon Shaffer.
