Pig tails meet peaches on the summer menu at Matyson
One of our favorite things about eternally chic BYOB Matyson (37 S. 19th St.) is the restless mind of its chef, Ben Puchowitz. Dude is constantly coming up with new dishes, be they for the weekly rotating tastings or the main menu. Today brings news of the latter; the fresh summer menu is in effect, heavy on of-the-mo' crops like honeydew (a juicy accent for kampachi tartare), peach (with barbecued pig tails) and watermelon (joining beets, tomatoes and basil on the side of the hanger steak, one of Puchowitz's favorites). We like the brunch-y sound of the pork chop with dark cherries, Swiss chard and bacon-cheddar waffle. Order in!
