Chip Roman
, chef and owner of Conshohocken's Blackfish (199 Fayette St., 610-397-0888, blackfishrestaurant.com) recently started offering a four-course tasting menu every Monday for $45 a head. While plenty of restaurants are touting Restaurant Week-style specials these days, Roman's is unique in that every week, he switches up his focus and creates a meal around one signature ingredient. Above are shots of a few dishes from the inaugural tasting, a celebration of porcini mushrooms. Tonight, Roman messes with asparagus, the king of all vegetables. Menu after the jump; call 610-397-0888 for reservations.
