A dining-window format
Night Out With F&W x BTW is a single-night dining experience during the Food & Wine Classic in Charleston. Instead of an assigned seating, the event uses an open dining window at By The Way. A separate restaurant reservation is required, so the format is closer to a dedicated restaurant dinner during the festival than a fixed-time banquet or tasting session.
What the dinner includes
The central dish is a pan-seared duck breast dinner with savory sweet potato custard, bacon-creamed spinach, and truffle demi-glace. The listed accompaniment is a honey-roasted butternut squash and burrata salad made with mixed greens, prosciutto, toasted pine nuts, and balsamic reduction. The source description also frames the menu as a seasonal duck dinner with accompaniments and salad.
Those details make the duck preparation, the custard, the creamed spinach, the demi-glace, and the salad the named menu subjects available for planning. No additional courses, beverages, pairings, or substitutions are specified here, so they are not treated as part of the described program.

Corey Schoenig and Alec Gropman are the named featured participants connected with the dinner. Schoenig is identified as Head Chef at By The Way.
