Addam’s Family Dinner

by Steven Doyle

Chef Eric Shelton at the State Fair Music Hall just announced his menu for the musical Addams Family which opens October 3, 2012. If you were unaware that the Music Hall even served food you are in for a pleasant surprise. Shelton is not only a fantastic cook, but he also goes to great lengths to pair each meal with the particular musical that is currently running.  

Next week we will be checking out the Addams Family and trying Shelton’s creations. Here is a list of that menu, tell me if this doesn’t sound fun.
