Event – Got Sushi? Private Tasting Event @RestauranThalia – MAY21

Posted on by

0


UPDATE: What we did know: To come hungry. What we didn’t know: There would be 7 dishes, all of which were full portions besides the sushi rolls (menu above, right). Chef Honrado (above, left) was so gracious and humble with his Kool-Aid smile that we knew we would taste love in his food. The plating was on par with the best. We were especially happy with the salmon and the scallop dishes. Some constructive feedback/tweaks to the menu was given and we are positive that everything will be taken into consideration going forward, if not already. If you are in the area, shoutout @RestauranThalia and GO!

FULL ALBUM here

Be sure to check out Thalia Restaurant, as they also have $1 oyster nights!

We’ll be sure to report back with plenty of pics and our brutally honest review, as always :)

Review – Yuji Ramen Test Kitchen

Posted on by

It’s not often that you encounter someone so passionate about what they do to the point of perfection. Sharing the same values and also being a self taught chef, Yuji instantly made a connection with us. We mentioned how no food should be wasted, you should taste every ingredient that is mentioned on a menu, and how we hated that tasting menus got progressively heavier as the meal progressed. We also stated that we hate when we go to popups or supper clubs and you either: leave hungry, feel ripped off, or the food is cold with a makeshift kitchen. He happily obliged on all points.

It’s been too long since the last party. Long time no see. Let’s catch up with good beats and great company. Make new friends, reacquaint with old ones, go gangnam style or be a wallflower. It’s up to you, my lovelies. Just know that these parties are infamous for inadvertently hooking singles up. You know who you are.

It’s BYOB. A bottle of liquor gets you in. Into who or what, that’s up to you. Please leave the farm animals at home.

Drink responsibly. Or not, it’s your liver. Who cares, it’s the weekend.

See ya’ll there!

Heirloom Tomato Salad w/ Ricotta Ice Cream

Replacing Todd English’s former CrossBar space at the Limelight Marketplace, he is back at it again with Chateau NYC, a French restaurant with dishes that are sure to please. Fortunate enough to get a first taste of the menu, we were excited to see what this was all about. We were especially fond of the dish above, a perfect dish for the Summer season. Check out the album here and see for yourself if the trip is worthwhile.

UPDATE: This event has now been pushed back to APR28.

Every attendee MUST bring a dish (that feeds 10+). Also if you want to bring a friend, they have to bring a dish too. Please do not mooch, as that will be a bad reflection upon us for inviting you. Mooching is not cool and you will be kicked to the curb. Thanks in advance. :) If interested, email us with the dish you will be bringing and we will reply with the time/location.

First Look – Atera

Credit proprietor Jodi Richard for hand-picking Chef Matt Lightner for Atera, the former the Compose space at 77 Worth St in TriBeCa. Even more props for convincing him to come to NYC from Portland. This guy is the real deal, having worked at the highly revered Mugaritz, and it shows. When it comes to textures, temperature, and technique, the execution is practically flawless. None of the food is coerced or phony. Even their butter is intentional. The flavors? Well, read on…

First Look: Ristorante Aglio

It’s not often you find a restaurant group that excels at what they do. Let’s face it: fusion makes cuisine that much harder to pull off. From the same peeps that brought Greenwich Grill and Sushi Azabu spawns Ristorante Aglio. Where? On 277 Church Street. Yes, you read right. On a street riddled with misses [ahem, Stuzzicheria, Da Mikele, Kori, Matsugen (R.I.P.)], the odds are highly stacked against them. Primarily known for car traffic vs pedestrian traffic, you have to give people a reason to walk this street. How does Aglio rank?
