From Boardgamenews.com: Of special note for gamers in North America, the back cover of the A La Carte: Dessert expansion notes that the item is under "exclusive distribution in the U.S." by Fantasy Flight Games. When asked about this note, Mark Pollard, FFG's marketing content coordinator, said, "Unfortunately, I'm unable to comment on anything that we haven't already announced on our website. At this time, that includes any plans to distribute A La Carte or its Dessert expansion. In short, I cannot provide any details to you at this time, but keep checking our website for the latest information."

So, wink wink and all that...

I hope they don't mess with the art of the base game.
