Hulu has a new seasonal menu

With nutcracker soldiers standing outside the door, and silver snowflakes and pink balloons inside, Hulu is set to celebrate Christmas. A new seasonal menu offers tomahawk steak and roast suckling pig. The Australian beef rainbow salad is a highlight. It includes green, flower-shaped avocados, brown Australian beef, white quail eggs, orange pumpkins and caramel-colored walnuts. The dish looks like a mini garden on the plate.
