The Palazzo Room Presents: An Evening of Culinary Delight

Spring into an evening of culinary delight and elegance at The Palazzo Room, where we will be joined by Chef Darrick Tucker, Jr, of Southern Roots/APeeling Gourmet, as he showcases an exclusive menu offering a story of tradition reimagined. Begin your journey with a Starter that sets the tone: Pimento Cheese Crostini accompanied by a bed of fresh spring mix, dressed in a light vinaigrette, and crowned with crisped local Howe Farms Bacon—a harmony of flavors to awaken the senses.

As the night unfolds, the Main Course offers a choice that caters to every palate. Indulge in your choice of one of the following main dishes: the richness of Smoked Chicken Quarters, complemented by our signature BBQ sauce, or savor the tender Pork Loin Chop, glazed to perfection with a maple bourbon embrace. For our guests favoring a Vegetarian Option, the Smoked Cabbage Steak presents a bold, smoky delicacy that challenges the conventional.

Accompanying these centerpieces are three carefully crafted sides, each a nod to classic comforts with a sophisticated twist. Dive into the indulgent depths of “Grown-Up” Mac and Cheese, find solace in the soulful embrace of Braised Collard Greens, and delight in the sweet caress of Mashed Candied Sweet Potatoes.

And for the final act, a featured Dessert selection beckons with the allure of nostalgia redefined. Choose from the Crown Royal Peach Cobbler, which promises surprises in every spoonful; Not Your Grandma's Bread Pudding, a regal reinterpretation of a classic; or the Bananas Foster Parfait, a layered spectacle of flavors.

Each dish is accompanied by a selection of beverages—water, tea, and lemonade—to cleanse the palate and complement the symphony of tastes. 

A full bar of signature drinks and classic favorites will be available for purchase.

Join us for an evening at The Palazzo Room, where every dish is a journey, every bite is a memory in the making, and every sip is refreshingly captivating. "Exclusive Experiences, Unforgettable Evenings" await.
