New on the Menu: Foie gras corn dog, bagel inspired by Danny Meyer concept

Dishes and drinks that have us doing a double-take this week include eggplant parmesan fritters, a duck and foie gras corn dog, and a special bagel version of the Croque Monsieur from Black Seed Bagels and Manhatta, a restaurant from Danny Meyer’s Union Hospitality Group.

Those of us at Restaurant Hospitality regularly see what independent operators are dishing out, but some menu items make us stop and stare — whether they involve an out-of-the-box way of using an ingredient, the appearance of a burgeoning trend or simply stunning presentations. We bring you NOM: our New on the Menu weekly roundup.
