Had a great meal today again at Gjusta. Damn that porchetta butcher has eluded me until today, mainly because I wasn’t too impressed with the porchetta melt. WOW was this insanely good, almost to the level of the prime rib butcher IMO. The parsley oil mixture had the right amount of herbaceous flavor to enhance the pork flavor. And the finely grated horseradish was just perfect. The crispy cracklins they added was another crunch in addition to their excellent baguette.
Had a smoked fish plate which was awesome as usual. To note, the octopus was excellent today, other times it was sort of meh.
Grabbed a kabocha bundt cake, great sweet and bitter flavors and awesome texture.
Also, has anyone had the croque madame? A couple of people got it near me today and it looked fantastic. They use, what looks like their own pastrami. Definitely going to try it next time, unless someone here thinks otherwise.
