Tomato time at Barclay Prime
 |
Steakhouses must needs prepare their stand-alone vegetable side dishes with the same attention to quality they pay to beef and chops. Barclay Prime (237 S. 18th St.) is taking this ingredients-first approach to the next level with their brand-new heirloom tomato station, available in the dining room Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights.
The station will be heaped with a variety of heirloom fruits from Branch Creek Farms in Perkasie, PA.� Guests choose a small, medium and large tomato from the array of Sicilian plum, green zebra, pineapple, sun gold and tiger striped varieties, which are sliced and served with their choice of Hawaiian lava salt, Adler Wood Smoke Salt from Washington or Maldon salt from England, all topped with extra-virgin Sicilian olive oil.
Your individualized tomato tasting runs $20 � chef James LoCascio suggests pairing the love apples with the 20-ounce Gachot & Gachot rib eye.
