Chef Shaun Rankin’s ‘Taste of Home’ menu exemplifies the tension between traditional domestic Christmas cooking and the modern trend toward dining out on Christmas.
Although Christmas dinner is typically a cherished home-cooked feast, it is increasingly common for people to opt for extravagant meals at upscale restaurants on this day.
Rankin's menu, featuring luxurious ingredients like cultured butters and scallops, raises questions about what it means to recreate the comfort of home dining outside the home.
Prices for festive meals at high-end restaurants reflect not only the premium ingredients but also the labor involved in providing a special experience for diners during the holidays.
