Mrs. P enjoyed an excellent birthday celebration at James on Main in Hackettstown, NJ. We enjoyed croustade of smoked salmon with herbed creme fraiche, osetra caviar and edible flowers; burrata with local beets, empress plum compote, salted mixed nuts, and aged balsamic vinegar; duckleg confit with homemade sausage, flageolet, watercress and green garlic puree; golden tilefish with pumpkin seed crumble, sweet corn velvet, foraged black trumpet mushrooms, pickled beet butter, and red sorrel; brisket with wood fired corn succotash, white polenta, and braising jus. We had chocolate mousse with lemon curd and hazelnut toffee crunch. It all went great with an excellent Shiraz and Chateauneuf Du Pape.
