Gunthorp farm chicken ballotine, snail bread stuffing, buttercup squash purée, fennel, pickled garlic, pickled ramp chicken jus ($31)
Chicken ballotine is a semi regular item on the menu. We have had different variations on the menu. I was thinking about stuffing it with something a little different, something other than sausage. I saw a can of snails we had in the store room and for some reason thought about oyster stuffing. I made the connection and now we have snail stuffing. The buttercup has that great sweetness and the rest of the dish accents all the great flavors known to go with snails. We have pickled garlic, ramps and fennel. All great snail flavors.
