If you’re still looking for something to do Wednesday night, Hugo’s is holding its fourth annual creepy Halloween dinner featuring a seven-course “ghoulish” tasting menu.
There’s no menu to scare you with yet because for this dinner, the chefs try to get their hands on rare, unusual fare that takes some time to “nail down.” (Bwahahaha) But to give you an idea, in 2010 the courses included “Duck Gut” – foie gras, testicles and tongue – and “Stuck Pig,” a course of suckling pig, blood sausage, blood cake and blood sauce. Yuuuum yum!
