Make Champagne Mignonette This New Year’s Eve

When it comes to oysters, the classic mignonette — a sauce of shallots or red onion, vinegar and tons of ground black pepper — may be the perfect pairing.

This New Year’s Eve, do as Joshua Resnick, ICE New York’s Lead Chef & Operations Manager, does, and up the ante by way of Champagne.

As for Chef Joshua's preferred oyster of choice?

"I like an East Coast oyster that's not overly briny," he says. "Massachusetts or Prince Edward Island are my favorite spots to look."

So give your oysters a treat — it is New Year’s, after all. (And you can thank Chef Joshua later.)

Cheers to 2023, y’all!
