The chicken in puff pastry with riesling sauce, lobster Newburg and veal goulash served with roasted peppers and caraway dumplings are a few of his new dishes.

The menu by Mario Carbone, the chef and a partner in Major Food, features dishes from that era, like steak tartare, scallops in snail butter, mock turtle soup, avocado crab Louis and lobster Newburg.

Other menu items in the works include crab cakes, crab legs with remoulade, lobster Newburg, cucumber salad, Waldorf salad, coquille St-Jacques, double pork chop smothered with mushroom and caramelized onion cream sauce and more.

"The danger is overcooking a casserole or, say, lobster Newburg if the lobster's already been cooked," said Marianne LaCroix, director of marketing for the Maine Lobster Promotion Council.

Oh, yes, of course there was a supper, we had lobster Newburg and champagne, but I 180 didn’t take any; a cup of beef-tea or a little cereal would have suited me much better.
