Husk Visited 8/9/2017 4 Forks

Husk  7 Rutledge St., Nashville, TN 37210

Several years ago I visited Charleston, SC and I was so excited to to check out Husk.  But unfortunately I ended up having to cancel my reservation so I always had this place in the back of my mind as a place to come back to. While I never ended up back in Charleston, I did get the pleasure of traveling to Nashville for 24 hours and luckily I was able to squeeze this meal in before some work outings. 

While the location is kind of in a random area of Nashville, the decor was lovely - pure Southern charm.  It is an old Victorian House that they transformed into a restaurant but they still kept a lot of the finishes and character of it inside and out.  They have a great lunch menu where you can choose a la carte or also a Nashville Plate Lunch for $14 which includes a choice of 1 of 2 entrees and 2 sides.  I was all set to get the fried chicken plate lunch but then the waitress started describing the BBQ chicken sandwich ($14) in a mouth watering way that I got totally swayed into choosing that instead. For appetizers, we started with smoked trout deviled eggs ($8) and both Holly and Susanne got the cornmeal crusted catfish plate lunch.  

As a starter they bring out these pipping warm Parker House rolls and Jesus Christ are they delicious. The butter has pork fat in it, so you know it's good.  I could have eaten all 3 rolls but I was good and only ate 1 but don't say I didn't warn you when you try to inhale the whole basket.  I was excited for the appetizer as I'm always a sucker for deviled eggs and these were pretty damn good.  I originally thought the trout part was going to be in a roe topping but it was mixed in with the yolk instead. Either way, it was smokey and delicious and I was surprised that we got 5 pieces - I guess this is Nashville and not New York where you would have literally gotten 1 egg cut in half for that price.  It was beautifully presented and that was the case with the rest of our meal.  The catfish came out in this beautiful large mini tree stump-like plate.  I had a small bite of the catfish with the sweet onion relish and it was nice and tender.  My BBQ chicken sandwich wasn't plated quite a nicely but that wasn't a deal breaker at all.  I was expecting it to be kind of like a pulled pork sandwich and piled high on some kind of fluffy Texas toast but it was more like regular bread and cut up chicken instead.  The chicken was tender dark meat and was nicely sauced but I was kind of regretting not getting the fried chicken after all   Apparently they are also famous for their burger but after seeing it (it was a double cheese patty), I just couldn't bring myself to order it if I wanted to not fall asleep right away.

If our meal had ended here, I probably would have given it 3.5 forks - really solid but I was a bit let down by the chicken.  However, the dessert totally made up for it.  We got the brown butter soft serve ($9) which came with cocoa nips, caramel, and pecan.  I was a bit doubtful of this dessert and wanted a more traditional Southern dessert like peach or blueberry pie but this was out of this world.  It was sweet but not overly icky and it was just perfect.  This dish, the parker rolls and the deviled eggs definitely made it worth 4 forks.  The service was also fantastic - we had a super sweet and nice waitress who made the whole meal incredibly pleasant.  It was a great way to kick off my introduction to Nashville!  Total bill:  ~$80 for 3 people including drinks, tax and tip

Faro Visited 8/8/2017 3.5 Forks

Faro  436 Jefferson St., Brooklyn, NY 11237

For the last few years, the hot Brooklyn neighborhood has been Bushwick and despite living not too far from it, I rarely go there.  So when my friend Vince emailed and said he made a random reservation at the latest hot spot in Bushwick called Faro, I was game.  The immediate area surrounding Faro is exactly what you would think of when you hear Bushwick - tons of graffiti, murals and industrial space.  We hit up a fun beer garden/gastropub called The Rookery for a quick drink, so if you need a place to meet up with friends before dinner, I would highly recommend that place. 

As for Faro itself, the space seemed to fit the neighborhood.  It was very industrial, spacious and airy. It had kind of a cold feel to it but not in a super uninviting way.  The menu is actually Italian, which is something I wouldn't have guessed by the look of the place.  They specialize in pasta but we also got a few appetizers and entrees as well.  We started with the tuna tartarte ($16), beets ($14) and a mackerel crudo ($15) as well as the whole wheat bread ($6).  Of these starters, the bread was my favorite.  There is really nothing like freshly baked warm soft bread with salty butter.  Carbs and gluten be damned, I am willing to risk getting fat for this kind of bread.  Unfortunately I wasn't as jazzed about the other appetizers.  To be fair, they were all good because they are all really standard dishes that are generally good tasting but none of them set my palate on fire.

Luckily the pasta was much better.  We got basic spaghetti alla chitara ($20), the special pasta of the day which was pasta with truffle and the mafalde ($22).  The texture and consistency of all the pastas were all excellent and the mafalde came with crab and uni cream which was delicious and my favorite of the night.  The truffle pasta was a bit disappointing in that it didn't taste super truffle-y but then again I would probably complain if it was too heavy on the truffle flavor.

Since we were all gluttons for punishment, we also ordered the scallops ($26) and the duck ($27). The good news is that the scallops (all 2 of them) were amazing.  They were huge, plumb and just the right texture.  I just wish that for almost $30 you got more than 2.  The bad news was that the duck wasn't all that.  It was a bit on the dry side even thought it was cooked medium rare.  It was just missing the moist tenderness that a good duck should have.  At roughly the same price, I would have rather gotten 2 orders of the scallops instead.

We left room for dessert and got the chocolate olive oil cake and the panna cotta with hazelnut.  I'll be honest, I was kind of drunk at this point so I don't really remember eating them but if I had to take a drunken guess, I'll say I liked the olive oil cake more than the panna cotta.

One thing to note was that Anuja and my aperol spritzs were definitely not good.  It's such a typical fun Italian drink that any good Italian restaurant should do well but something was off about it - it was almost like they substituted the aperol with something else.

The waitstaff was really nice and friendly and I think if my meal didn't have the aperol spritz or the duck, I would have been willing to go up to 4 forks.  Although this isn't to say you shouldn't spend time in Bushwick and check out this place out.  If you are making a day of it, I'd say go to Rookery for drinks and games and then come here for some pasta.

7 Days in the South of France - Part 2 2.5 - 4 Forks Visited 7/19-7/20/2017

Le Crillon 15 place Crillon, 84000 Avignon, France   2.5 Forks

Another French bistro, another order of beef tartare please!  Only unfortunately, I wasn't a fan of this one at all.  We had taken a lovely 1/2 day tour of Avignon, which is the closest big town from where we were staying.  There is an interesting papal palace and a few other cute sights around the city that made it worth a day trip.  We ended our tour in the middle of town where there were several traditional looking outdoor French cafes.  Since there were so many of us, we ended up picking Le Crillon since it could seats us outside and it had some semblance of an outdoor misting system since it was pretty hot outside.  It honestly looked exactly like the two other cafes right next to each other and all of them looked like they catered to the busy tourist crowds with roughly the same kind of menu.  

As expected the menu is typical French cafe food and since we were still binging on cheese and other heavy foods at the house, I went with the healthier meal of beef tartare again.  Sadly this one was not as good as the other one A la Maison.  Right off the bat you could see that the consistency of it was more on the mushy side.  I like my tartare to be more chopped or cubed in texture but this one just reminded me more of ground beef, which one I associated it with that, was a real turn off to me.  Plus it was missing the all important raw yolk!!  Who serves a beef tartare without the egg?!?  The overall flavor was kind of bland and boring as well.  Luckily it was served with fries and a salad that helped to fill my appetite.  

Given the craziness of the trip,  none of us really took the time to research where to eat after our tour so maybe this could have been avoided if we had planned in advance.  But it's really hard to plan with so many people involved and so many last minute changes.  While I didn't think my meal was awful, I was definitely not impressed by it, especially given how local of a dish it is.  

Nez   Place du Rouvis, 84190 Gigondas, France    4 Forks

If you ever have the chance to go to the South of France, I'm begging you to spend some time in Gigondas.  It is seriously the cutest town I've ever seen.  It's a tiny wine city that oozes charm.  One of the people there had mentioned that there are more wine stores and restaurants than there are people there.  It's like Napa or Sonoma but way cuter with their stone houses and blue shutters.  We had the great pleasure of getting a private wine cellar tour which was super fun.  Luckily the guide had asked us if we had any lunch plans and we stupidly said we'll just figure it out when we're done with our tour.  She looked at us like we were completely insane.  Apparently every place here is packed all the time, so you have to make a reservation.  The first place we wanted to try was all full, but their sister wine bar called Nez was free so we snagged a reservation there. 

I should caveat that it's really less of a restaurant but more of a wine bar that happens to serve some food.  The menu is tiny, so be prepared to only choose from 1-2 options.  Aside from that, the outdoor atmosphere is lovely.  It's a great place to relax and enjoy some wine and take in the sights.  They start you off with some small appetizers - one was a tabouleh plate, another was pig snout salad (it was very good and crunchy) and then a small serving of cheese.  It was a good light starter to the meal.  For my main I got the special of the day which was lemon risotto with chanterelle mushroom. Amazing!  It had an excellent consistency - firm but with a hint of softness to it.  It was very heavy on the lemon flavor - it almost tasted like they zested an entire lemon but that didn't really bother me too much.  The mushrooms were fabulous and a nice salty combination with the risotto.  It was definitely a heavy dish but not so heavy that you felt gross afterwards. It was also plated beautifully which was expected in such a lovely city.  

Although tiny, I was simply enamored with this city.  It screams cute European feel - it's almost a page out of Beauty and the Beast.    Obviously if you want to eat at some of the larger restaurants in town, its crucial to make a reservation in advance, although I have read that some places aren't even open for lunch.  While I thoroughly enjoyed my experience here, I will say that the limited menu was a bit of a turn off in the beginning but it all worked itself out.  Besides, if you can't find anything you like to eat you can always just order wine and cheese all day and still be a happy camper too. 

7 Days in the South of France - Part 1 4-4.5 Forks 7/18/2017

A la Maison  4 place des Cordeliers, 84100 Orange, France        4 Forks

I know I'm writing this entry way late but it's honestly taken me this long to get over and recover from such an amazing vacation.  I won't go into all the details but a close friend of mine decided to celebrate his birthday in the South of France in a beautiful area 45 mins outside of Avingon.  I haven't been to France in really long time, partially because I've always held a soft spot for Italy in my heart but this trip has really opened my eyes to how lovely France is as well.

One would think that I would have a ton of food entries for this trip since France is also well known for its food and wine scene but we spent a lot of time cooking at home, so we ended up only going to 4 restaurants during the whole week.  Sorry guys!

One of the places we did go was this cute little bistro in the town of Orange - 30 mins from where we were staying in Sablet.  We chose this place because it's right across the street from the Roman Theatre where we were going to later.  It's your typical adorable French style bistro with outdoor seating and chalkboard menus. The waiters were super cute as an added benefit for your viewing pleasure.  As expected the menu has typical French bistro food - all of the menu is in French but it's easy enough to figure out and the waiters all speak English.

As many of you know, one of my favorite dishes is beef tartare.  But it's not often on menus in the States (unless it's a French restaurant) so I rarely eat. it  So I was beyond thrilled to be in France and see it on practically every menu here.  When in Rome (or France...) I guess.  I didn't even bother reading the description of it and excitedly ordered the tartare de boeuf.  On paper, the dish is pretty simple.  I mean it's cut up raw beef but in reality it's a dish that requires a lot of finesse and this one hit the spot. It was this beautiful dish with raw beef, capers, garlic, parsley, pesto flavoring (I think?), chopped red onion, chives, shallots and most importantly a gorgeous raw yolk.  After spending the last few days eating nothing but stinky soft  cheese and croissants, this dish was light and clean tasting.  It was bit unique in that it came with sprouts on top but I love sprouts so that was totally ok with me.  It could have been even cleaner tasting as it was a bit heavy on the parsley and pesto flavor but overall I was really happy with the dish.  It came with a side of fries which was great because this dish alone won't get you very full.  Everyone else's food, which ranged from salads to burgers, looked great too and everyone was really happy with their food.   They have a cute fountain outside where they keep giant bottles of rose chilled in buckets, which is a nice touch when it's 100 degrees outside.

This was a perfect easy introduction back into French food and if you ever find yourself in the town of Orange, this is a great place to enjoy a casual lunch overlooking the Roman Theatre.

Coteaux & Fourchettes   3340 Route de Carpentras Croisemement de la Courançonne (D8/D975), 84290 CAIRANNE, France      4.5 Forks

This was the main event of the trip - Kevin's actual 40th birthday.  Matt had spent a good amount of time looking for a place that wasn't too far from our house, could accommodate 16 people and was also a great restaurant.  Despite it being wine country, it's hard to find something that will hit all of these requirements but we finally settled on this place.  

I will say food wise it's not necessarily 4.5 forks (it's closer to a 4 or 4.25) but the overall ambience and presentation of everything gave it a few notches up.  The view is the lovely - it's completely surrounded by vineyards and they gave us a giant table underneath a beautiful pergola.  Since there were so many of us, the menu was already set in advance.  It was 10 courses (really 11 because there were 2 desserts) and each was paired with a wine.  I won't go into each dish in detail but the meal went like this (1) amuse bouche of olives, mini roquefort popovers and a salmon mousse bellini; (2) cold broccoli gazpacho with blue potato chips; (3) beet sorbet with poached lobster in a cold zucchini soup; (4) beef carpaccio with cauliflower gratin inside, topped with shaved parm; (5) duck froie gras, apricot jam and pink salt; (6) raspberry champagne; (7) pigeon with ratatouille; (8)  lamb with English peas and gravy; (9) cheese plate; (10) cherry tiramisu; (11) chocolate mouse with strawberry filling and raspberry sorbet. 

As you can see, it's a LOT of food.  In generally everything was tasty and well done with the beef carpaccio and pigeon being my two favorites.  I could have done without the lamb, not because it wasn't good but because I was so full at that point and it was hard to really enjoy such a heavy dish at the end.  The cheese plate was also quite aggressive as there were 6 pieces and some of them were super super stinky, even for me.  Lately having 2 desserts was also too much - one is more than enough.  The wine pairings were all great although to be honest at this point, I can't remember any of them but the very nice sommelier came out and explained all of them to us.  The pacing of it could have been a bit quicker although to be fair, she had no idea she was serving 15 alcoholics who needed a full glass every 10 mins.  The chef came out afterwards which was a nice touch.  You could tell he was very tired but proud of the meal.  The restaurant was nice to let us just be loud selves (we did try to keep ourselves in check as much as possible) and stay at the restaurant until it pretty much closed down. 

Matt had mentioned that only a few restaurants even bothered to get back to him and another place gave us kind of a lame menu but we were going to go with it because we didn't seem to have much of a choice being so far away.  I'm glad this came through because if nothing else, it was a lovely way to get out of the house and be surrounded by beauty.  The total bill wasn't too bad - it was around 150 euros per person.  If you are looking to do a set menu, I'd recommend working with the chef to pair it down a bit from what we got but overall, it was a really special moment and great place to celebrate a 40th!

Madame Vo Visited 7/11/2017 4 Forks

Madame Vo  212 E 10th St., New York, NY 10003

Despite all the heat and humidity, I always crave pho even in the summer time.  So when the wait at Tim Wo Han was still over an hour on a random Tuesday, Virginia and I decided to check out Madame Vo instead.  It was also jammed packed but the host said it would only be a 15 minute wait, which was great.  My first impression is that it's definitely not your mom and pop Vietnamese restaurant - it's catered much more to the hipster East Village crowd but the host and wait staff were all Asian so I figured it still had some authentic qualities to it. 

The menu has a similar vibe to Hanoi House, which is of a highly curated greatest hits menu from a more traditional mom and pop place.  You'll find your typical spring rolls, summer rolls, banh xeo, pho, bun bo hue, and bo luc lac type dishes here.  Unlike my favorite pho places, there is only 1 kind here but luckily it's a pretty damn good kind.  VA and I split the fried spring rolls ($12) and I obviously had to get the pho ($16) while she got the vermicelli bowl ($14).  

The spring rolls came 4 to an order and were nicely fried and filled with shrimp, crab and pork.   It came with the usual fixings of the lettuce wrap and fish sauce to dip into.  It was a solid order, although with anything fried, it is hard to go wrong with that format but the filling was fresh and tasty.   Now that I'm writing this, I realized that we got another fried spring roll dish as well and frankly that was totally unnecessary order, especially for 2 people, I would recommend just 1 appetizer or if you are going to get two, don't get two spring rolls.   

The pho came out and it was a fairly large bowl but at $16 I would expect nothing less.  The smell and flavor was immediately intoxicating.  I could tell that it was at the very least going to be a tasty dish.  The broth was excellent and it was served with all the "best of" meats for the dish - brisket, eye round, bone marrow and meatballs.  For $5 extra, you could have also added short rib or $3 for oxtail but the idea of spending almost $20 for pho just didn't sit right with me.  And you know what?  The pho was excellent without them.  I would have liked less meatballs (or no meatballs) and more eye round instead.  Unlike some of the broths I've had in Chinatown, this one was not too oily and it had the right flavor combination.  The noodles were soft and the right texture for the broth.  I'm not sure if it was the heat or not but saldy I couldn't finish my meal - this is by no means a reflection on the quality of the pho but more on how much food there was and how freakin hot it was.  While I know leftover pho isn't as good as it is when it's served fresh, I couldn't bring myself to leave it behind (and yes, I can confirm that leftover pho is not good).  I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed my meal here as I was expecting to be lukewarm on it.  It's pretty on par with the fancy pants pho at Hanoi House and I would say that they are both a step up from some of the bleh places in Chinatown but it still doesn't match up to my all time favorite place at home, Pho 75.  

While I generally am not a huge fan of "gentrified" Asian places, I am starting to warm up to them when the food is executed well.  I will always prefer hole in the wall, mom and pop places, but some of these "nicer" places are still able to deliver on the the authenticity of the food without dumbing the food down.  My biggest complaint thought with places like this is the price.  Paying $16 for a pho (while delicious) is completely outrageous in my book but I guess that's the price you pay to live in NYC.  Total bill:  $41/pp with tax, tip and drinks

De Maria Visited 7/8/2017 3 Forks

De Maria  19 Kenmare St., New York, NY 10012

De Maria is one of the most Instagram'd places in the city right now as it's got this funky California hippie vibe and all its food is bright and super colorful.  Plus the food also quite healthy - think avocado toast, grains, flax seeds, and turmeric.  The first person I thought of when I saw this menu was my friend Laura and in true cliched fashion, we both meet up here after going to our morning pilates class.  

The place was packed on a Saturday morning - mostly full of gals like us who just came from pilates or yoga, sigh.  I'll give them credit and say that the menu was quite unique and full of dishes that you haven't really seen or heard of else where but not in a weird gross way but in a "hmm, that sounds interesting" way.  My one big gripe about the menu is that nothing sounded really hearty or very filling.  Everything sounded like a dish that would leave you hungry within 10 mins of leaving the restaurant.  I got a grain bowl where the name escapes me as it wasn't their famous Dragon Bowl but it had a similar name since it had similar ingredients like a grain mix, heirloom beans, and avocado except mine had raw salmon and was served with a leche de tigre sauce instead of a poached egg and tahini sauce.  Laura got the actual Dragon bowl and a bone broth as well. 

The first sign that things weren't going to be great was that we waited forever for our drinks which was a simple coffee and grapefruit juice.  I could tell that the waitstaff was busy and seemed a bit overwhelmed but to me, your drinks should come out quickly so that you can buy some time with the food in a crazy busy setting.  Of course, we waited a while for our food to come out too and I'll  be the first to admit that the bowls were beautiful - colorful and nicely presented.  Taste-wise, it was exactly as advertised, a super clean and healthy tasting dish.  The mixture of the leche de tigre, raw salmon, avocado and 5 grain was creative and well balanced.  I just wished it was 3 times of the size of what it was.  I also sipped Laura's bone broth and honestly I wasn't all that impressed with it.  It had spicy chili-turmeric to it that I honestly didn't care for.  When I drink bone broth, I want it to be focused on the salty broth flavor and not be distracted by a spicy flavor to it.  If you're into bone broth, I had a very salty but good one at Dickson's Farmstand Meats in Chelsea Market. 

One of the main reasons I gave this place 3 forks was that I just wasn't feeling the crowd around us either, even though on the outside we clearly looked like everyone else in their work out clothes.  It felt like a really pretentious snotty crowd, bordering on basic bitches - even the girl next to us was super rude - Laura accidentally flung a bit of grain in her direction and she looked at us like you thought we killed her puppy or something even after Laura apologized profusely.  The service was super slow and not apologetic about it at all.  As expected, I walked out ready to eat pizza within a few hours of my meal (I actually did go and eat pizza 2 hours later).  If you're into all the hippe dippie, health food craze, by all means go and try it out.  I'd just recommend avoiding it during brunch hours and don't got if you're really hungry.  Total bill: $30/pp with tax and tip

4 Charles Prime Rib Visited 7/6/2017 5 Forks

4 Charles Prime Rib  4 Charles St., New York, NY 10014

Yes,  this place lives up to all the hype.  Do yourself a favor - stay up an until midnight and log on to Resy 30 days out to snag a reservation at one of the 10 tables there.  If you try to make a reservation during normal human hours, the only things left are the ones after 11pm and if you're like me, I just can't be dining that late anymore, so I opted for the 5:15pm reservation.

Everything about this place reeks of old school dining.  It's located on Charles Street (duh) in a townhouse and has a speak-easy feel as it is pretty tucked away and hard to find.  Once you enter, it's like being transported to something of the Godfather era - it's dark, leathery and the waitstaff are all impeccably dressed. As expected the clientele veers towards the douchy banker bros but hey, I can't fault them at all for enjoying a good piece of meat.

This place comes for the same team as perennial meat favorites, Au Cheval in Chicago.  The menu here is a bit more expanded with a raw bar, chicken, pasta, side dishes and most importantly prime rib.  They also have a fantastic cocktail/wine list with some seriously outstanding old fashion cocktails - they're huge and viciously strong.  Vince is my go-to overeater partner and we obviously couldn't help ourselves when we were here.  We started with the shrimp cocktail ($21) because the Alaskan crab legs were offensively priced at $75/lb and got the prime rib Chicago cut ($66), cheeseburger with farm egg ($19 for the burger + $2.50 for the egg), mashed potato side ($13) and the creamed spinach side ($13).  And yes, it was just the two of us eating dinner.  The waiter had told us that there are a french dip special and don't think that we didn't seriously consider throwing that in the mix too but we exercised some mild form of self-control.

The shrimp cocktail came out first with 6 large shrimp served with cocktail sauce and dijonnaise sauce.  They were plumb and crisp with the right texture to it.  The cocktail sauce was served with horseradish on top of it which made it even more delicious.  It was an excellent start to the meal. Everything else came out fast and furious right after.  The prime rib was 16 oz of pink rare heaven - it was pre-sliced but you still had to cut them into smaller bite sized pieces and it was so tender that you could have cut through it with a dull butter knife.  It was one of the juiciest pieces of meat I've had in a really long time.  They only later brought out the au jus sauce to go with it, which only made it even more amazing but the first couple of "naked" bites were just as good.   But what's even better than the au jus was the horseradish cream - there's just something about rare meat and horseradish that's so perfect.  Just when you think you've had your fill of meat, they roll out the cheeseburger.  This is not just any cheeseburger but a double decker with a runny egg - many people opt to get bacon on top of it too but we decided it was just too much.  It's a fantastic heart attack inducing burger with pickles, chopped red onion and a mayo like sauce.  I'm glad we split it so that we could try a bunch of other dishes here but lots of people were totally just making the burger their main dish, which I can understand.  The super runny egg was just the cherry on top.  A runny egg makes everything better. On top of everything else the sides were not to be forgotten.  The mashed potatoes came with probably 2 tons of butter in it but also it was made with roasted garlic and chicken jus.  AMAZING.  The creamed spinach was also great but it was more along the lines of a standard creamed spinach but it's one of those dishes that I feel like you have to get with meat.

At this point, you'd think we would be comatose and ready to leave but no.  We ordered dessert too because we're fat f*cks.  We got the chocolate cream pie ($18) which for even a non-chocolate lover like me was simply fantastic - it was pretty much chocolate pudding in an oreo crust with a huge dollop of creme fraiche on top.  My heart was pretty much broken when we couldn't finish it and I had to watch half of it go to waste.

At this point, it was only 7pm but it felt like midnight.  We walked out definitely feeling like we had been hit by a mack truck food wise - I was honestly a tad uncomfortable by how much we ate and I had only had a salad earlier in the day.

I've read a few reviews of people gripping about how annoying the reservation system is (I get it, it's annoying) and it is quite pricey (although no more than many other high end restaurants in NYC) but really if you enjoy meat, this is a place you absolutely need to experience.  Just do it - you won't regret and even if you do, who the hell cares? Total bill: Unknown since I didn't pay but I'm guessing somewhere in the ballpark of $375 for 2 with tax/tip/drinks
