Dunsmoor - Glassell Park

this place is very good. I enjoyed everything but the highlights were the scallops, cornbread, stew with flour tortillas, and the pork chop with a 30% fat cap.

best seat in the house is the chef’s counter with your own fan.

bay scallops, delicatessen-style, sippets

chopped chicken liver, bacon, rosemary, onion preserves

north shore-style prawns, green garlic, chili, meyer lemon, parsley

edna’s sour milk cornbread, white cheddar, hatch chili, cultured butter, honey

aunt emmy’s pork & green chili stew, cheddar, flour tortillas

mushroom-crusted pork chop, smoked lard, thyme

agree - it is really good.

Haven’t had the Pennsylvania Dutch Slippery Dumplings yet.
Maybe @JeetKuneBao - newly back from PA can maybe check it out

“Dumplings” in PA/NJ/DE is basically just a piece of dough lol I am not kidding. Same with “pot pie” it’s not the Marie Calendars you had in your mind it’s literally dough lol. It’s more of a noodle imo. PA Dutch food is super heavy it’s good but I can only eat so much. Apple dumplings and apple butter that’s what I am talking about! Lebanon bologna is also good.

It’s basically just a real good heavy chicken soup with some dough

I know. Grew up NY and went to college in Binghamton not far from Scranton . Celebrating the food there is kind of a joke.

Thanks @MVJPL! The chili recipe looks pretty straight forward. If you make it please post. I will too. I’m not attempting the tortillas. :grin:

If I can convince you, making flour tortillas is actually pretty easy, though great ones can be bought locally.

Unless you’re the ladies at El Ruso churning out hundreds of tortillas by hand, Having an electric tortilla press is a game changer for flour tortillas for the average home cook. I got mine slightly cheaper in DTLA and it’s a dream. Don’t feel bad, even sonoratown uses them.


It makes for paper thin consistent results and par cooks it so there’s no shrinkage. You can then store it refrigerated for 2 weeks easily or even freeze them and super easy to finish off on hot griddle.

The tartare is a fav. The spoonbread (from the days at Hatchet Hall) is on the menu now.
