Swanky French spot Adour in the St. Regis hotel is serving up a decadent interpretation of Yule log, a Christmas-time tradition popular in many European cultures. This version is made with Black Forest cake and comes with meringue mushrooms. As of Tuesday afternoon, Adour still has seats Christmas Eve, when it'll serve a five-course menu (the yule log is featured) plus a la carte options.
