This season, The Hood by Olive continues its tradition of bringing unique culinary voices to Bengaluru with a special focus on the soulful flavours of American Creole cuisine. Donald Frost, whose culinary perspective has been shaped by years of expat life, is hosting a special, rare, cross-cultural dining experience that bridges Midwestern comfort with global cuisine.
This Night Shift offers a Louisiana special, Shrimp Étouffée, a dish featuring a rich, velvety gravy built on a foundation of French, West African, and Native American traditions. For those seeking a vegetarian alternative, a Veg Étouffée is in for a win, crafted with a medley of mushrooms, pumpkin, and the holy trinity of Creole.
To conclude the meal on a sweet note, Don brings a piece of a delicate Lemon Tart. Featuring a bright lemon custard set within a buttery shortbread crust, to complement the savoury notes of the Etouffee, providing a crisp, refreshing finish to a hearty meal.
Whether you are a fan of bold, Southern flavours or looking to explore a new side of American gastronomy, join us at The Hood for an evening of comfort, culture, and exceptional craft.
