No, not on the side. by-
Vegetarian and meat-
Tasting menu: Woodlot defeated them in 2010.
It's not a braised braids either.
Inspired by a cigarette gun, it combines Asian and European flavors.
There, did it, bought Tums.
We are also familiar with bar snacks and quirky cocktails.
Has anyone ever drunk rhubarb bitter wine from bourbon and French net?
The novelty is that the chefs at The Ossington's latest restaurant serve food.
They came and smiled shyly.
They put a plate and explain it.
Everything, all the way to the last side of lovage (
"Like celery ")
And sprinkled furikake (
"This is a Japanese mixture of seaweed and spices ").
I mean, who is better than the one who prepared it?
"This is the favorite part of my job," said David Zhang, the chef in charge of delicious salt --
Sushi ($6).
"It broke the wall between the kitchen and the dining room.
If we see who we are cooking for, we can cook with love in our heart.
"The idea came from the 28-year-old executive chef, Jeff Claudio, who worked in an envelope like this --
Alinea in the kitchen (in Chicago)and Noma (in Copenhagen).
He called his cooking style "bistronomic", combining bistro and molecular cuisine.
Claudio is a transplant to Vancouver, and so is your true three hosts (
Dan Hawkins of Allem Jamar
Barney and Matt Cherkas)
Hired him from Craigslist. The first-
The Times restaurant opened in December. 12.
Too bad, the name sounds tempting and sounds more like a greeting --
Or worse, the VIP strip club.
The bad thing is that due to the minimal furniture provided by polished terrazzo flooring and design company Stroudfoot, the room used to be a galaxy donut, like a 1950 hospital waiting room.
However, we can't complain about the price: $35 per four people
Vegetarian menu changed every day ($45 for meat).
Four factors of entertainment space
Whimsy, like a crispy cabbage leaf with buttermilk foam, or, unforgettable, a miniature Mason potato jar --
Hazelnut soup with Hazelnut cream-
We got eight meticulous, satisfying courses for $35.
Even snacks are cheap.
For example, the salty spiced lamb leaks from the bubbling flat bread ($5)
Or Korean pork ssam packaging ($7)
Improved walnut paste.
These "small plates" are always available ";
Tasting menu is not available on Wednesday.
The humility of ingredients helps reduce costs.
Claudio prefers roast beef tongue to filet steak;
He makes menus around carrots and potatoes.
Also no general manager can pay for the entire kitchen staff
Including Claudio.
Dishes are served and there seems to be fewer servers on the floor.
And no dishwasher. “I’m back (in the kitchen)
"Wash dishes often," Cherkas said . ". (
Visitors are welcome to visit the kitchenette; ask your chef. )
It's all great, food, cooking, and precision.
Giant yellow and red handed heir carrots are baked in turn, paired with malt wheat berries, Persimmon plates and yogurt.
This is a pleasant unusual dish.
One night, you can see a grilled trout fillet from the meat menu, which is as soft as a pink cashmere sweater.
Followed by chicken sauce in the smoked cream bean moat.
There is a cooked dandelion stem perched on it;
Chicken slices were sprinkled around.
Its vegetarian counterparts are
On a cabbage roll full of strong glutinous rice. (
Filipinos Claudio like Eastern European food. )
But that's nothing compared to potatoes, and the vegetarian menu shows: a Mason jar from Robertson --
Delicious potato chips with dill oil, potato chips and Malden sea salt.
It blew it up with apple trees in the last second-
Fill the cigarette gun, seal and deliver it.
After opening, the smoke floated out.
This is not the only magic.
One night's dessert was apple-wood-flavored milk freeze.
The crispy pieces in the bowl are their own.
Obviously, but what is the white thing on it?
We asked the chef in charge, Mark thaneuva, who brought it to the table.
"We turn the butter into powder with malt syrup," he explained . ".
We also learned something: Not only did the chef act as an ambassador and translator between the kitchen and the restaurant, they also worked as a translator at the bus stop.
Each dish they took out brought an empty plate back to the dishwashing point.
