The culinary offerings for the evening will include:

  • Starter: Chesapeake crab cake accompanied by tomato tartare, bay sauce, pickled vegetables, romanesco, dill, and onion oil.
  • Main Course: A generous serving of Omaha Angus Ribeye steak complemented by Thumbelina carrots, broccoli rabe, an herb-infused carrot sauce, red wine truffle jus (a rich sauce made from a blend of red wine and truffles), and potato gratin.

According to a press release from the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies, the meal will conclude with a delightful dessert: Minnesota apple ice terrine served with sour cream ice cream and salted caramel.

Each dish will be thoughtfully paired with a selection of wines. One wine will be sourced from Monticello, Virginia, while two others will originate from California.
