Rory McIlroy announced the menu for the traditional Champions Dinner during Masters week, and it does sound appetizing.
The Northern Irishman completed the career grand slam at Augusta National last April, earning the green jacket in dramatic fashion by defeating Ryder Cup teammate Justin Rose in a playoff.
One of the privileges of winning the Masters is setting the menu for past champions and Augusta chairman Fred Ridley prior to next year’s tournament. That feast will be held on April 7, preceding the Masters from April 9-12.
McIlroy unveiled his menu during a Zoom call with members of the media on Wednesday morning.
Let’s start with the main course, with those in attendance having the choice between Wagyu filet mignon or seared salmon. The traditional Irish champ (creamy mashed potatoes with scallions, butter and milk), brussel sprouts, glazed carrots and Vidalia onion rings will be served as well.
That will come after the first course of yellowfin tuna carpaccio, with appetizers featuring peach and ricotta flatbread, bacon-wrapped dates, rock shrimp tempura, and grilled elk sliders.
Sticky toffee pudding will be served as a dessert.
