APL Restaurant

Were you raised by wolves? Or did they too leave you for adoption?

burrata, stonefruit, acacia honey
Sadly this was the highlight of the night. the barely in season peaches weren’t bad and the burrata was fine.

sharper than a lego you just stepped on with your bare feet.

signature apl short rib, pickle salad
I must have gotten the ribs of an anorexic cow; how they made a fatty cut like this into a dry, insipid hunk of meat is beyond me. It tasted like a bland, smokeless, lean brisket, that needed some bbq sauce. Nothing like the fatty, juicy, silky ribs that you get at majordomo or even at events where APL is serving the ribs himself. I’m hoping this was an opening-weekend anomaly, but at this price point i won’t be returning until i hear positive reports. Yes, sergio was in the kitchen.

not a toto

The space was very dark and corporate, it felt like i was dining at an upscale corner bakery. Service was friendly but over-attentive, runners were literally standing over my shoulder while I ate.

Yikes. Opening night at any restaurant is a crapshoot, but you’d think he’d have the barbecue down pat.

That looks like a smaller cut than Majordomon’s whole plate. Were the bones shorter?

The first Yelp report is pretty negative, though it seemed like he got better food. Sounds like overstaffed and undertrained.

Thanks for taking one for the team @PorkyBelly. Sounds pretty terrible, and I’m still offended by the slices of onion for $10 (and I wasn’t even there!). :frowning: :sweat: Their signature Short Ribs (the only reason to go), sounds like a disaster. :frowning:

Yikes indeed. Still bummed he went this route instead of opening up a BBQ spot.

Is this the same recipe from Daisy Mays in NYC?

i asked about these and apparently they’re just regular fries because they couldn’t “get” duck fat.

The handle of that illustrious steak knife looks very uncomfortable to hold. Esp. for anyone suffering from arthritis. Antithesis of Oxo…
