Looking back

The SD Foodie take

Editorial commentary written from Roger’s original photograph and caption. Roger’s own words are the quoted photo note above.

The frames show escargot baked in bright green herb butter with toasted bread, a plate of pork in a glossy sauce with scallions, a bourbon cocktail with a cherry, and the table of friends.

Roger’s caption is a short list — escargot, pork medallions, bourbon and good company — and the hashtags place it at Amélie in Greenwich. It is one of the few sit-down French meals in the archive, alongside the Hillcrest escargot dinner a couple of weeks earlier.

The quick critique

What stood out

Bottom line

Archive verdict

A warm Village bistro night, and the second escargot plate of Roger’s winter.
