when michael voltaggio won season 6 of
top chef, i was backpacking through rotorua, new zealand. so it wasn't until 2 years later that i'd ever even heard of him.
michael voltaggio has been described by some as the best chef in all of
top chef history. he's the reason for culinary boners and orgasms and all things sexual to foodies all over the place.
his west hollywood restaurant
ink was recently named by GQ magazine
the best new restaurant in america.
after checking out
ink last month, i now know why.
tuna tartare, dashi sponge, soy yuzu,
radish, pear cubes, sesame candy
| crab, charred avocado, whipped
fish sauce, mushroom chicharron
|
carrots, coconut ice,
cardamom soil, pea tendril mojo
| beef tartare, hearts of palm, horseradish
snow, sea bean chimichurri, rye
|
foie gras, waffle crisp,
smoked maple, hot sauce
| brussel sprouts, pigs ears,
lardo, apple
|
beau soleil oysters,
oyster leaf, mignonette ice
| apple, caramel,
burnt wood ice cream
|
and it all tasted even better than it looked.
can we say "o" face?
