Glistening Balsamic BBQ Chicken thigh sits on the plate, lacquered with a deep, dark layering of aromatic sauce. Beside it, the Parsley-Infused Corn Relish - yellow corn kernels studded with vibrant pops of green parsley and red bell pepper catch the eye. All of this contrast beautifully against a simple, white plate.
