Deck those halls and trim those trees because the Good Ol’ Boys that redefined elevated Southern cuisine at Preux & Proper are pulling out all of the stops this holiday season as they introduce
SLEIGH BELLS on SPRING:
a holiday spectacular featuring Holiday Specials, Christmas Cocktails, Decorations galore, and a Holiday Calendar of Festivities that includes weekly visits from Santa Claus himself, from Tuesday, December 3rd, 2019 through Monday, December 30th, 2019!
Preux & Proper, the preeminent Southern house on the West Coast where hospitality is a way of life, will have guests rocking around the Christmas tree throughout the holidays with SLEIGH BELLS on SPRING, an outrageously decorated joyous celebration of everything Christmas! Taking the reindeer reins of this Christmas spectacular is Beverage Director Kassady Wiggins, whose enthusiasm for the holidays could rival Buddy from ELF.
Along with her two helpful elves, Owner and Operator Joshua Kopel and Executive Chef Sammy Monsour, Wiggins has transformed Preux & Proper into the unparalleled holly jolly destination for locals and L.A. transplants alike. “When guests walk through our doors, I want them to get a spark of that childhood holiday excitement and wonder they had growing up; and when they walk out, we want them to leave filled with holiday cheer.”
In the giving holiday spirit, Preux & Proper and SLEIGH BELLS on SPRING will be supporting NKLA, an initiative led by Best Friends Animal Society, bringing together passionate individuals, city shelters and an entire coalition of animal welfare organizations to end the killing of homeless pets in L.A. city shelters. All month long, guests are encouraged to spread good will by bringing any new and unused pet food, treats, toys, paper towels, blankets, litter, or grooming supplies to Preux & Proper and be gifted a Complimentary Cup of Cheer!
Executive Chef Sammy Monsour is whipping up some Yuletide yum in the Preux & Proper kitchen where he wraps his signature creativity and dons it with festive flair featuring Holiday Specials such as the Harlem Chicken & Waffles, featuring Melba’s eggnog waffles, sorghum molasses glazed wings, lemon verbena, and cherry & bourbon whipped butter.
On the thirteenth day of Christmas my true love gave to me the Orange Ginger Duck Confit, comprised of Liberty Farms duck leg, Chinese five spice, Asian pear, mint, baby lettuces, and a benne seed vinaigrette.
“The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear,” and this ELF inspired Buddy Breakfast Pasta will have guests singing for more, made with Nate’s nutmeg fettuccine, sage-maple, heirloom squash, hickory smoked hazelnuts, Pecorino, raw duck yolk, and house-cured coppa ham.
The Whoville Roast Beast is so delicious even The Grinch will pull up a seat, featuring Beeler’s Tomahawk Pork Chop, fried rosemary, garlicky Weiser fingerlings, and cranberry pork neck jus. Celebrate Christmas and say Buon Natale before tucking into the “Feast of the Seven Fishes” Style Jumbo Prawns with Mayocoba bean ribollita, leather britches black kale, and kumquat gremolata.
Oh, come and let us adore Dessert and rejoice, so don’t be a Cotton Headed Ninny Muggins comprised of Grey Goose Vodka infused cotton candy, or for a non-boozy treat, there is Preux & Proper’s Dark Chocolate Candy Cane Pie.
