How to make it keto
Ensure no potato, rice, or pasta sides are served. Request a side of steamed or grilled low-carb vegetables like asparagus or broccoli instead of the usual potato puree or french fries.
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in pre-made sauces (rare but possible), high-carb side dishes served by default. Ensure brandy/cognac is minimal and cooked off.
