Grilled calamari salad – Jane

Grilled calamari salad - Jane
Shaved celery, fresno chilies, garlic chips, oregano, aioli. $14
Jane, New York NY

UGH, this restaurant was SO annoying! Firstly, I couldn’t get water if my life depended on it, then they were out of taglitatelle so the waitress suggested this salad as an alternative. Imagine my surprise when everyone in our party got their large plates of steak, mussels, and salmon frites and I received this TINY bowl with a few bits of food in it. FML, who in would think that this dish is substantial enough to be an entree?! What a joke…

Now this was a delicious pizza! The crust was perfectly thin and chewy and toppings were great. They were simple and of really great quality. A perfect combination that made for a yummy meal. NOMS!

Roasted Jurgielewicz duck – Momofuku Ssam Bar

Roasted Jurgielewicz duck - Momofuku Ssam Bar
Lentil, carrot, prune. $24
Momofuku Ssam Bar, New York NY

I liked this dish, but I’m going to say that it was definitely on the salty side. The roasted duck tasted great (even though the skin was super chewy), but the duck egg rolls really didn’t have to be there. They were salty and the wrapper was oily. The lentil and duck combination was new to me and I liked it.
