Jew Food Plus Some Pig
Jew food is so beautiful. Gothamist writes about the Jew food renaissance with chef Zach Kutsher. His restaurant sounds magical. A lovely quote from the article:
“our gefilte fish is…made with wild halibut and a beet and horseradish tartare. I love our Romanian steak, which is a prime skirt steak with caramelized onions and our wild mushroom knish is amazing. Our roast chicken I could eat every night. We take a pletzel, which is kind of like a Jewish focaccia that we make in house and that’s part of our stuffing along with maitake, black trumpet, and royal trumpet mushrooms and it adds this umami flavor and this earthy goodness and levels of complexity that most people don’t expect from roast chicken. And I love our rainbow cookie Sundaes.”
And on another un-kosher note, check out chef Anthony Myint carving up this pig at the McSweeneys holiday celebration:
