"For an upscale dinner in the area, there’s Prelude. The Southern restaurant on the ground floor of the Jay Hotel swaps classics like fried catfish for catfish dumplings that resemble gnocchi and a traditional wing with one stuffed with rice and dusted in fermented chili. If you have a ready and willing corporate card, their tasting menu is $165 and includes their best dishes like stuffed wing and hominy grits that are at least 50% butter." - patrick wong, julia chen 1, lani conway
