Afternoon Snacks
Today's Afternoon Snacks has a couple of very affordable tasting menus with an abundance of foie gras.
Afternoon Snacks
Raw scallop with uni sauce, grapefruit, Szechwan peppercorn
(Ben Puchowitz)
On today’s Afternoon Snacks, a tale of two tastings—one featuring foie gras in meatball form, the other featuring foie gras in, well, every form. And both are totally affordable!
This week’s tasting menu at Matyson (37 S. 19th St.) is titled “Eat Like a Chef,” but we think the operative phrase is really “bacon and onion crust, shaved egg yolk.” Like, does it even matter what the thing is that's being crusted after you hear that? In this case, yes, it does matter! Because it’s MARROW! BACON AND ONION CRUST. SHAVED EGG YOLK. IF YOU WANT US TO STOP YELLING AT YOU, YOU SHOULD PROBABLY JUST GO.
Oh, and NBD, but the menu also includes the word “fixins.” So.

Meanwhile, over at Meritage (500 S. 20th St.), chef Anne Coll is putting on a full-on foie gras assault starting tomorrow. For the tiny little pricetag of $39, you get 4 courses (plus an amuse) with foie gras on every single plate (yes, including dessert, which sounds killer). But it’s only available this Wednesday through Friday, so get a move on.
