While Spork on Penn Ave has been a favorite for many years, our latest meal was simply amazing! The new chef’s tasting menu, One at Spork, involves a carefully orchestrated progression of 16 dishes (multiple appetizer bites, entrées and desserts) paired with 10 alcoholic or nonalcoholic drinks crafted to reflect flavors in each dish. It was truly hard to pick favorites, as each dish was delicious. Even the sparkling water was exceptional. But we found ourselves talking about the smoked bass truffle tartellete, a hand-torched miso glazed halibut and deconstructed hoppin john ravioli paired with a unique butternut squash, miso maple and apple beverage, the dish of fondant potato and chicharrones with NY sours topped with a red wine meringue and granita, and the maple-Amazake ice cream with bourbon black apple butter. The Nebbiola wine and tomato sauces served with the elk pasta basket were so good, we were glad we had this amazing bread and koji butter to clean our plates. See my blog love2chow and search "Spork" for a full description of every dish and drink. The service was impeccable! The best part was the chance to learn about the creative process for each dish and to meet and talk to the people involved in making and serving this fantastic tasting menu.
