The duck taco is made not with a tortilla, but a Native American frybread, he said. I'm here in Connecticut and also a partner with the Mohegan Tribe, so this menu includes foods indigenous to the region," said Flay during an interview for the restaurant. "I always think about the place I am and the foods of that region. Served at the premiere were tasting-sized portions of shellfish cocktails (a trio including shrimp-tomatillo, crab-Ĭoconut and lobster-avocado), spicy tuna tartare, medallions of filet mignon topped with quail eggs, and Native American taco with barbecued duck and cranberry red chile. Dinner was a lot later than I planned that year."įlay, who regularly cooks for friends and relatives at his Manhattan apartment, had no such problems last month, when a second version of his Manhattan-based Bar Americain opened at Mohegan Sun. I ran down to my local store, got them to open and found the last frozen turkey at the bottom of the bin. "When I opened the hens on Christmas morning, they were all bad. "Two years ago for Christmas, I had bought Cornish hens for 12 to make dinner for my wife's family from Texas," said Bobby Flay, chef, restaurateur and Food Network star. As you prepare for holiday dinners, relax and keep in mind that even the pros have disaster stories.
