Chi SPACCA

Had another great dinner at chi spacca. I’m impressed how consistently consistent the small kitchen executes the large menu here.

spacca caesar - cauliflower, escarole, anchovy
I was watching them make this and each leaf was individually dressed so perfectly it’ll be on the cover of next month’s vanity fair. Top three caesar salads I’ve ever had. (@Bookwich, @attran99).

whole roasted “naked” squab - oven-roasted, sea salt
Crispy skin and soft, tender, juicy meat with a slight bit of gamy funk.

Gotcha

grilled hearts of palm
Palm tree offal. Crispy and mildly nutty. Delicious.

pollo alla diavola su crostone - pane rustique, onions, lemon
Wow, highlight of the night. Great flavor throughout the juicy, moist meat. And those onions and bread at the bottom soaking up all the chicken juice was brilliant. Thanks for the rec @Chowseeker1999. @TheCookie this has your name all over it.
