Cactus Blossom

A whole onion cut into petals, battered and golden-fried, served with a Cajun dipping sauce. It is built for sharing and the calorie figure assumes you do not — 2,250 for the whole thing makes it the single heaviest item on the menu, ahead of every steak. Split between four it is a reasonable starter; eaten alone it is a day's intake before your entrée arrives.
