A small bite of next week’s Cafe review (we’re still full from yesterday):
We went instead with nearly transparent wisps of black truffle shavings upon mashed potatoes, an accompaniment to poulet rouge ― modeled after France’s Label Rouge birds, raised on all-grain diets and three times as expensive as commercial varieties. Cecconi’s version exemplifies the breed’s laudable characteristics: The half-chicken came with moist, tender meat; deep poultry flavor; and thin, crisp skin partly owed to genetics and partly to getting licked by flames from a wood-burning oven. The mashed potatoes possessed so smooth a texture that they reminded some table guests of the instant, powdered stuff; the natural spud taste proved otherwise, helped along substantially by the aforementioned fungus.
