Every year on July 14, the French everywhere celebrate their freedom by carousing outside and sharing some fantastic picnic treats, and in that spirit, Chef Esnault and Church & State owner Yassmin Sarmadi invite everyone to come and join them for this casual, no-reservations necessary, friends-and-family afternoon.
Chef Esnault will not only be serving summer favorites such as Laguna Bay Oysters, Foie de Volaille with toasted baguette, his tasty Heirloom Tomato Salad, Ratatouille, and Mousse au Chocolat, but also some truly special treats including a house-made lamb merguez sandwich and Brochette de Poulet. Invite your neighbor, bring your dog, and enjoy a glass of Pastis, Picpoul, Rosé or a Mint Spritzer as you play a game of Pétanque!
Bastille Day is a celebration of France’s freedom from monarchical rule, named after the infamous storming of the Bastille, the Parisian prison and a symbol of the king’s power, on July 14, 1789. Vive la France!
