Catch Those Snails! Happy National Escargot Day

Did you know today is National Escargot Day? Here at Morton’s The Steakhouse, we not only recognize the day, but have even put a new escargot appetizer on the menu.

Baked Escargot, anyone? We’re planning to order at least two.

The Baked Escargot is made of Wild Burgundy Snails, baked in cast iron until bubbly with herbed garlic butter and topped with puff pastry. The escargot is bathed in the most delightful butter sauce. The taste and texture of the earthy snails complement that of rich garlic butter (kissed with Pernod) and the flaky puff pastry.

For someone who has never tried escargot before, this is quite the tasty introduction.

Morton’s proudly serves Wild Burgundy Snails, a timeless French delicacy. Purchased from the sole US distributor, the preeminent purveyor in Burgundy, Henri Maire, has been satisfying the most discriminating palettes in France since 1938.

As with all gastronomic delicacies, escargots exhibit varying levels of quality. Henri Maire’s snails have maintained an unwavering reputation for incomparable products amid the demands of the culinary capital of the world.

Go on. Come in and try them. We know you want to.
