This is my thing from Katz’s. I can get pastrami here in LA, but this… had a friend who would ship me a couple a few times a year.

fuck Katz, #teamPastramiQueen

The minute I found Langer’s, eating at Katz’s became a non-option given it comes at the expense of gorging at Russ & Daughters next door.

Fact. We got Langer’s no reason to waste stomach space in NYC for Katz.

Shunji Japanese Cuisine: Honmaguro akami zuke and uni duet (murakami from San Diego & Hokkaido bafun) chirashi with house-made tamagoyaki, kyuri, and Shunji-san’s special “uni shoyu” (concentrated uni sauce). Woweewowwow… That uni shoyu is powerful! It really packs a flavor punch!

J_L’s house Japanese potato salad, with backyard Japanese cucumbers… Goes well with King’s Hawaiian buns and BBQ steak, corn and squash.

@Bagel awesome write up! Do you know if jimmy sugishita is still offering his chirashi bento or just this variation? i heard aburiya raku closed :frowning_face: he is based elsewhere now?

He still offers both bento and chirashi.

Providence En Voyage #3: The Golden State…

This week, we explore our home state of California! There’s a lot to be proud of here.

First course: Alderwood house-smoked Liberty Farms (Sonoma) duck breast, Rieger Farms flavorosa plums and Scarborough Farms arugula, frisse, red orach and sungold tomatoes, topped with sour plum & kalamansi vinegar dressing… The sour plum, veggies and duck are a perfect match.

Bread: Tehachapi Grain Project Abruzzi rye and red fife sourdough… Lots of nutty character - I couldn’t stop picking at it.

Main course: Line-caught Halfmoon Bay breaded king salmon (with Munak Ranch tomato vinaigrette and California fleur de sel), Dwelley Farms Brentwood sweet corn succotash (Romano beans, celtuce, Nardello peppers)… I gotta say, the fish was not as tough to cook as I had feared. It turned out wonderfully moist on the inside after letting it sit for a few minutes off the heat. The breading was delightful. And that corn succotash was splendid in and of itself.

Dessert: Harry’s Berries crème fraiche strawberry nectar tart… This was also fantastic! The pastry, creme fraiche all worked to bring out the best of that gorgeous gaviota strawberry flavor.

Wine: Pinot Grigio, Alois Lageder 2017

Bravo, Team Providence! Can’t wait to see (and taste) what you cook up for next in the series…

how was the coconut caramel?

The coconut is subtle but lasting. It really lingers. While the caramel takes over at first before fading away.
