Surprise and delight your guests by bringing back old-school classics like Steak Diane, Crab Louie, Chicken Divan, and Bananas Foster.
You can probably picture the sort of menu that features Clams Casino, Crab Louie, and Steak Diane. It’s oversize, a single card-stock placard, handed to you with great flourish by a waiter wearing a white dress shirt and black bow tie. The background music is piano, played at a gentle volume just out of sight. Elegantly old-school, this kind of fine-dining experience demands a pre-meal martini and might even make you long for a post-dessert smoke.
Serve them on a bed of rock salt to stabilize the wobbly half shells of clams—and make for a beautiful presentation. Get the recipe >Steak DianeHigh drama, minimal effort—that's the appeal of this steak smothered in a flambeéd cognac sauce. It used to be the signature dish at Manhattan’s Drake Hotel, the 21-floor structure that went up on Park Avenue in 1927 and had a steady clientele of celebrities, from Judy Garland to the members of Led Zeppelin.
