Dirt Candy by Chef Amanda Cohen

www.dirtcandynyc.com

Visit date: November 12

Dirt Candy... vegetarian fare concocted (seriously, alchemy was involved here) by a Jewish pescetarian... small menu but tightly formulated for extra bang... think of the most flavorful of vegetables taken to the limits of gustatory pleasure... Steve Shih says the cauliflower dish tasted like chicken and waffles... nuff said

Caution: The restaurant is small so Chef Cohen implemented a must-confirm policy for all reservations. She will call you the night before, otherwise give your table away to one of the many walk-ins throughout the night.
