duck duck… duck?

rodolphe le meunier butter, normandy france
say hello to my little baguette

big eye tuna tartare, imperial kaluga caviar, smoked tomato, toasted baguette
first time trying this and i agree with @TheCookie and @beam, it was pretty damn great. perfect proportions (@BradFord) to allow you to taste each ingredient in every bite. i also appreciated that the baguette was toasted just right to allow you to easily eat this in two bites.

spring onion, potato leek soup, pistachios

(new) crispy soft shell crab, baby broccoli, roasted cashew, sweet chili sauce
soft shell crabs, nature’s crab cakes. highlight of the night.

(new) porcini mafaldine, sonoma duck leg confit
rich, creamy and earthy, the mafaldine had nice chew. pretty good, but i still prefer the lobster mafaldine.

(new) wolfe ranch quail, black trumpet mushrooms, thao farms sunchoke
the quail was juicy and moist but the skin could have been crispier. loved the chewy, crispy sunchokes.

(new) en croute, strawberry, rhubarb, basil
wow another highlight (@Chowseeker1999, @Bookwich, @attran99, @A5KOBE), this was like a stawberry-rhubarb personal pot pie. when the server was incising the sugar crusted top-crust off to reveal the scarlet insides it reminded me of the chilled monkey brains in indiana jones and the ray liotta scene in hannibal. incorporating the basil into the ice cream was fucking brilliant, it perfectly balanced out the sweet harry’s berries and tart rhubarb.

Thanks @PorkyBelly. That looks amazing! Can’t wait to try the new dessert and the other highlights you had.

[A5KOBE]

Definitely need to get that monkey brains thanks @PorkyBelly

I was too into C&H growing up… perfectly describes me ; to my SO’s chagrin

[skramzlife]

Republique team makes a big move into the former Sotto and Picca spaces in...

Hi @PorkyBelly

@PorkyBelly

big eye tuna tartare, imperial kaluga caviar, smoked tomato, toasted baguette

Isn’t that a tasty bite?

Too bad about the quail skin but at least it was juicy & moist. It’s such a tight little bird that it’s hard to have
both.

@PorkyBelly

the chilled monkey brains in indiana jones.

…and Faces of Death 1978. Coinkydink, I recently had their Berry Rhubarb Crumble.

All I could think was it needs to be warm and with some ice cream. Yours does look brilliant.

Holy shit @attran99 @A5KOBE @Bookwich @TheCookie @Chowseeker1999 @bulavinaka

Breakfast tomorrow!

[TheCookie]

I’ve put in my request.

[Chowseeker1999]

Our friends sadly report:

Mango Pie sold out in less than an hour of them opening up today.

I blame @PorkyBelly for buying out the entire inventory.

[BlurA14]

Oh man, I should have gotten a whole pie.

With Porkybelly in the mix, the mantra becomes: Go big or you’ll regret it.

[A5KOBE]

Pie perfection

[TheCookie]

You got it!
