Midtown French restaurant Brasserie has a special game menu, in addition to the regular dinner menu, now through November 14th. The wild boar schnitzel, served with a side of spätzle, is breaded paper-thin and topped with parsley, capers, lardons and candied kumquats dissolved in brown butter and lemon juice. Daunted by the large portions, I decided to just taste and see what I liked. The wild boar schnitzel was fabulous. All elements fused together — tender boar, rich lardons, acidulous capers, sweet kumquats, tart lemon juice and fresh parsley. And let’s not forget one of my favorite starches, spätzle, to create balance. If you are embracing the fall season, Brasserie’s game menu is a great way to do it.
