This with some warm milk

went to nick and sons today. was hoping to try the larger weekend menu but i guess they meant the actual weekend sat-sun cause menu was the same.

just got 3 plain 4 choco croissant no photos u alrwsdy saw these s***s

that plain croissant might be my fav bite from this trip

👀👀 u prefer nick and sons to la cabra or librar?

ngl i never tried the plain from librae but librae was fire i think i might like their selection more than la cabra.

i think might like nick more than la cabra but also la cabra plain i only had a few bites cause i got it for my friend who likes plain s*** so maybe not the best comparison

nick and sons plain had so much hype i had to try a whole one. it like has a really nice chew to it that i love and it’s flaky but not like make a mess all over your s*** flaky.

Yaya i rmmber also how buttery ot was which is rly nice

what i ate today

continuation of the dacha_46 pelmeni series
this was carrot dough with spicy cumin lamb


spicy cumin lamb definitely hit more than the straight cheese filling, i liked these
tbh probably wldnt order again frm these ppl as i fl ive satisfied my curiosity but i like the concept and everything

i had a crazy dinner
flor camorlinga's residency at fulgurances, laundromat ending tomorrow night
fulgurances is a restaurant that only hosts chef residencies, started in paris, branched into nyc last year.
been meaning to hit fulgurances for a while but flor's menu was the first that genuinely genuinely i couldnt stop thinking abt and this may be the best meal ive had this year!!!

started off w a red/white masa tostada w mussels and a shiitake salsa borracha (salsa macha + beer)
next to it is a red crab tartelet w a cabbage leaves...... the tartlet tbh was ok but the tostada was genuinely so good

coconut and blood orange hiramasa + shrimp aguachile with !!!!! dried shrimp mayo!!!!!!!!
the dried shrimp mayo actually was crazy like.... so good on its own i want a tub of it at home

toasted rice + scallion + shiitake topped fish head + guajillo chile broth soba
so fragrant, so good

pigs head terrine w japanese red bean buree and avocado puree. also really really really good

duck liver + heart stuffed empanada topped w black garlic sauce + daikon pickles. the savoriness of the filling brought out the flavors of the blue corn masa so well

first of spring morels + beef cheek taco
anatto seed crema
another straight hitter..... all of the dishes smelled so good as soon as they hit the table this was no exception

snapper w fried scales+ cucumber + two sauces --i think they green one may have been spinach related and the other horseradish cream
v tasty but not the strongest dish compared to the others, still tasty and fish was so delicate

cheese course of toquera + aged cotija cheese cream, arbol chili salt, chapulines (grasshoppers)
this was it for me.... this was salty, super buttery, super umami, the toquera was tender but the chapulines were so crunchy etc etc. 11/10 best bite of the yera

roasted pineapple, spicy choco mousse type thing. mightve been chipotle peppers
this was incredibly good, one of the most complex tasting yet delicious desserts ive had all year. hit every flavor note.

seaweed jelly sheet over sobet... again super weird imagine sweet furikake but like super good as a dessert. i imagine it kinda scratches a similar itch hawaiian chex mix scratches

overall llike.... some of the most interesting flavor/texture/etc combos ive had in a long while

I always forget to take pics of my food

today
chile con miel popup at honey's

duros de harina w za'atar, coconut milk horchata

fried artichoke, spring garlic salsa macha, lemon aioli, so good. the artichoke tasted super artichokey which i liked

spring lamb birria using a 100 yr old family recipe 🥺, avocado leaf basmati rice, spring garlic, radish. came w side of blue corn tortillas
so so so good

win son bakery bc proper has put it on my mind
millet mochi donut, toffee choco cookies

yesterday

thick ice cream, i got the deep fried caramel pecan cornbread in the small cup and bf got the cookie dough in banana fudge
ice cream made fresh daily
i liked the banana fudge a lot, not too sweet and has a nice banana flavor (rl banana)
bf liked the cornbread one more, its super rich and sweet

ro's diner

seitan buffalo chicken wings, every bit as good as champs + same sauce

hangover bowl (biskies, hash browns, vegan egg scramble, vegan sausage gravy, tomatillo salsa)
bf got the waffle fried chicken sando
hashbrowns were super good but tbh i wish the biscuits were more moist bt... i guess they r vegan lol

bread crumbs fried in the sausage fat

basted the broccoli w a lot of thomas straker inspired anchovy, garlic, and calabrian chili butter
