A trio of mouthwatering Southern-inspired temptations await during Restaurant Week at Gigi’s Southern Table. Chef John Clickner II’s Southern Mac & Cheese and Smoked Burnt Ends are served with cornbread and a salted smoked butter and hints of bacon, molasses, beer, and a kick of cayenne are packed into the ribeye reduction. Pair the main dish with a Smoky Mezcal Paloma, featuring jalapeno-infused mezcal, a smoked salt and chili lime rim, and an always-dramatic presentation. And when it’s time for dessert, a get-it-while-you-still-can Bourbon Peach Cheesecake celebrates the season with fire roasted peaches, pecans, and a sweet bourbon drizzle.
