Dirt Candy's 2025 New Year's Eve Menu
HORS D'OEUVRES SURPRISE
Our kitchen crew is creating a selection of tiny bites to start this feast with a dazzling galaxy of finger foods that'll tap dance on your taste buds and wash the old year away.
CRAB CAKES & CAVIAR
Caviar is the best way to start any journey, so this voyage into 2026 begins with our briny seaweed caviar topping pan-fried crab cakes (without crab, of course), crunchy cucumber slices, creamy crème fraiche.
GARLIC BREAD & FRENCH PEARL ONION SOUP
A soft, pillowy focaccia, stuffed with garlic butter and finished with a thick shower of Pecorino Romano served alongside a classic French onion soup made with caramelized pearl onions instead of regular onions, in a tiny bowl with a lid of melted cheese — perfectly sized and perfectly petite.
WINTER GREENS
You should always eat something green to enjoy prosperity and wealth in the new year, and we honor that tradition by scouring farms and fields for every single green vegetable we can find, then putting them in this salad, dressing them with a warm, fermented black bean dressing, and topping them with crunchy croutons.
SAFFRON & GOLD ARTICHOKE TORTELLINI
Eating gold guarantees a prosperous 2026 and this beautiful, handmade pasta comes flecked with real gold flakes for good luck, along with saffron, known as red gold. The tortellini is stuffed with artichokes, Calabrian chilis, and preserved lemon.
EGGPLANT
Eating round food on New Year's Eve is traditionally thought to bring good luck, so we're cutting our eggplant into rings to resemble coins, then cooking them until they're crispy on the outside, dipping each eggplant coin in hot honey, rolling it is sesame seeds, and serving it with herbaceous chickpeas, labneh, pomegranates, and chili oil.
DESSERT
Our pastry chef, Rachel, hasn’t told us exactly what she’s coming up with for dessert yet but it has to do with squash, and it’s going to be amazing. Which is the best way to end a meal welcoming in the new year: with a step into the unknown, and an assurance that whatever you find there is going to be better than anything you ever could have imagined.
We’ll be offering both a vegetarian and a vegan version of this menu, but unfortunately, we can’t accommodate any other substitutions, modifications, or dietary restrictions, including a gluten-free diet.
