We ate at a new restaurant in Montclair called Cafe Moso (for Montclair South). They had a nice special of any 3 appetizers for $30 or 4 for $40. The 3 appetizers we had would have normally gone for $45. We shared crispy Maryland crab cakes with roasted corn and poblano salsa, with a whole grain mustard and chipotle aioli; blackened cod fish tacos, with a roasted poblano slaw, pico de gallo, and Oaxaca cheese; chargrilled Spanish octopus with Israeli couscous, and a roasted pepper nicoise olive emulsion. For entrees I had a fork tender 1/2 a rack of baby back ribs and BBQ pulled pork. I liked the ribs much better than the pulled pork. They both came with very vinegary collard greens, baked beans, sliced pickles, and hot and crispy cornbread. There were plenty of leftovers. Mrs P had a crispy cornbread crusted catfish with a creole tartar sauce and fries (which I forgot to take a picture of). It all went great with 2017 Two Hands Angels’ Share shiraz.
