Vegetarianism is so passé
According to this
Times article, fatty slabs of meat are all the rage in New York. There the best chefs serve:
- Pigs’ head meat with mayonnaise in sandwiches served on toasted brioche
- Fried marrow cubes
- Lardo bruschetta (pig fat on toast) euphemistically named "proscuitto bianco" by Mario Batali before it was popular
- Pickled watermelon and fried pork belly cube salad
The best quote from the review of a haute restaurant:
"I was touched by the way our server — let’s call him Sisyphus — replenished the moist towelettes at our table over and over again. What we really needed him to do was put a dropcloth under us and, at meal’s end, hose us down."
