GOOD EATS NYC 2023 (A Blanket Thread)

I followed – for the most part – your worthy footsteps today. My first experience here was actively bad, possibly because of my focus on offal then.

Guided by you, I swung the other way this time and can confirm that the cauliflower is very good, as is the “Jambalaya”. I found the eggplant a little too aggressively garlicky for the thin layer of eggplant, but it worked when folded into the rice. I had the lamb version of the beef dish you mention, and I agree that the thick onion content is high. One further thing I had turned out to be a star: it’s called grilled croaker, but it was a crisply deep fried whole fish – startled, gaping mouth and all. You have to crunch through the smaller bones and work around the bigger ones, but the flesh was surprisingly moist and well worth it.
