Thursday March 18th: Homage to Michel Bras



This Thursday we'll be kicking off a series of homages to world class chefs, starting with a menu of dishes inspired by the great Michel Bras of Lagouile, France. In addition to introducing diners to molten chocolate cake, Bras' Gargouillou has inspired an entire generation of modern chefs including David Kinch of Manresa and Andoni Aduriz of Mugaritz. This is our humble attempt at recreating his amazing food or serving dishes in his style. Please order the value priced tasting menu.
