On today’s episode of “stupid or awesome”…..

I’ve been trying to get angel hair on the menu for ~9 years. The issue is that by the time it gets to the table and sits for a few minutes, it turns to a blob of starch. So! One bite it is.

Homemade angel hair with Spanish clams from coated in a white wine, green garlic, and verjus butter sauce and then coated in a clam hollandaise. It’s so rich that it doesn’t get taxed.

This is a real stunner. Angela (our main pasta maker at the moment) was messing around making phyllo dough for the test kitchen and this dish came together. Once we tasted it we knew that it was destined for the main menu. Just to repeat that part….SHES MAKING PHYLLO (who does bro think she is).

House phyllo filled with sheep’s milk feta and toasted in clarified butter. The salad is castlefranco, white asparagus, red onion, black sesame tuile, fig and yogurt puree, and grapefruit vinaigrette. On top of the phyllo is sumac honey, toasted pistachio, and caramelized grapefruit.

February, march, April are really the dog days for restaurants. We don’t get fun stuff to play with and it’s generally slower. This kitchen has made me so proud watching their creativity and passion for food shine through the down time. Can’t wait to keep this up through farmers market season. See you soon!
