Public, SoHo
Grilled scallops with sweet chili sauce, crème fraiche and green plantain crisps
Pan-seared foie gras on spiced french toast with pineapple chutney, maple glaze and crispy bacon
Spiced Berkshire pork loin, warm guindilla chili and spaetzle salad, chamomile poached apricots and pistachio nuts
Roast lamb sirloin on crispy goats cheese polenta with saffron braised baby vegetables and harissa aioli
Funny Nurse and I have recently set out on a quest to make the most of her short time in NYC by trying various higher end-ish restaurants (that neither of us have been to) with an emphasis on tasting menus. Sadly, Public doesn't offer a tasting menu on Saturdays, which I found odd. We even tried to drunkenly schmooze the waitress. I don't know - maybe they can throw something together? "Is there like a chef's menu," I asked with a smile? I suppose that I imagined she would look left and then right, snuff out the candle, pull out a dusty menu from her cleavage, lean in really close, and whisper something fantastic into my ear about secret foods. "That's on Sundays," she said. Still, I could not have been happier about our four dishes.
