"The New Orleans Jazz Festival menu really showed us that our customers would accept spicier, bolder dishes," Guidara said. "They're interested in being more adventurous."Among the new dishes on the "Fall of Surprises" menu is boneless barbecue short ribs with Chianti sauce, and fresh pappardelle with roasted vegetables. The barbecued shortribs also are featured in short-rib sliders as well as in a sandwich served with aged Cabot cheese from New England.The fall menu also will include other new dishes such as avocado eggroll with sweet tamarind cashew dipping sauce, roasted tomatoes and vegetables served on a five-grain flatbread, chicken salad with Goji berries, and crunchy chicken wrap with cranberries.Cranberries will be featured in several alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages in the fall, he said.
