"We had spent the entire day outdoors and were sun-soaked, tired, and very hungry. The order was two burgers (which, I might add, easily rival those of their neighbor across the park); smoky, blistered romano beans with romesco; escargot; and this essence of summer on a plate ($22). The juicy little sun bombs scattered across the plate leached their bright sweetness into the sauce that pooled around each agnolotti."
"A thing to know about me: I love using my hands to dig into food and embracing the mess, especially when it means getting to the tasty bits. I was supposed to meet a friend who snagged a reservation at the impossible-to-book Cambodian restaurant, but she unfortunately wasn't feeling well that day, and graciously let me use her reservation for myself (sorry and thank you, Kath!!)."
"For my solo meal at the bar, I knew I had to get the lobster ($95) because 'tis the damn season, and also I'm a sucker for the description of "IYKYK." I love the game of figuring out the best way to get to the lobster - I'm not too skilled with seafood cracking tools, so I used my hands to dig into and pull the meat away from the hard shell."
A corner patio meal featured summery agnolotti studded with bright cherry tomatoes that infused the surrounding sauce. The meal also included two burgers, smoky blistered romano beans with romesco, and escargot. A solo bar reservation at a difficult-to-book Cambodian restaurant centered on a $95 lobster prized for its flavorful, chewy meat that paired with rice. The diner used hands to extract the lobster meat, treating the effort as an earned pleasure. The lobster recipe traces to chef Chakriya Un's mother, Kim Eng Mann, known as Mama Kim, and a n'gom vegetable dish was recommended.
