Brunch special with duck egg, Fresno chilies.
The Coterie Room, Seattle WA
The has was pretty tasty and filling, but the duck egg on top was kind of unappetizing because it had a weird texture as if it had been sitting under the warmer for too long. I also wish that you could taste more of the fresno chilies in the hash.

I can certainly appreciate an artfully plated dish, but this is going a bit far maybe. There are literally only four tiny pieces of beets on this plate. I understand that there are many components here, but give me some more damn beets! LOL, I’m only slightly joking… The beets were delicious, and so were the pickled cherries. I think that was a beet gelee too, but don’t quote me on that.
