A few more discoveries from a recent trip, centered on Brooklyn! The more things I sample and see, the more I believe that London's St John will have been the key trend setter for the noughties.
- Marlow & Sons (Williamsburg): part of the mini empire that also includes Reynard, Diner and Achilles Heel, this is cozy little place serves a half dozen dishes du jour. I had grilled cheese and peach sandwich, followed by lively green bean salad.
- Takashi (West Village): currently or was Anthony Bourdain's favorite NY restaurant. Had to give it a try. All about beef from a fourth generation Korean immigrant born in Osaka. The result is bold Korean flavors with the finesse of Japanese cuisine. The signature dish --which I adored--was a Niku-Uni, or seaweed topped with a shisu leaf, chuck flap with sea urchin and fresh wasabi. Pick it up like a taco and dippity-do in some soy sauce. Sally is your aunt!!
