In honor of Boston Pride Week (which runs through Sunday, June 10th) Red Lantern revives its annual Pride Menu, courtesy of Chef Kevin Scott. The offerings, as mouth-watering as they are witty, include more than a dozen dish and cocktail specials inspired by LGBTQ icons. Make your way to the Back Bay spot post-parade for Ru Paul’s Drag Dumplings with steamed pork and fiery red chili aioli, or Ellen Degene-Rolls with bluefin tuna dragon and tempura bits. If you’ve got a sweet hankering, pour over the Marshmallow P. Johnson chocolate tart as a tasty salute to one of the movement’s biggest activists, and grab a large straw to share the Chering is Caring large format cocktail (incomplete without an entire bottle of sparkling rosé). You can check out all the themed offerings below, and give the restaurant a call at 617.262.3900 to make your reservation ahead of time.
