Eleven Madison Park

Dinner is a glorious way to sample the offerings at this epic restaurant. But we dined recently for a (truly) extended lunch. The room is quieter, the pace even more leisurely and the food, as expected, is as unimpeachable as it is come nightfall.

Pyeong Chang Tofu House

For comfort food, Korean-style, we like this Temescal restaurant. The star of the menu are the tofu soups—we like the one with beef and dumplings, which is stained red with chile and arrives in a stone pot, bubbling ominously.

This stalwart is best approached with a game plan. We suggest going in the late afternoon hours for a bottle of rosé and a bunch of oysters, or enjoying an extremely civilized Sunday brunch at one of the outdoor tables. Yes, you can get both the chicken and the burger at that meal, but also baked eggs, French toast with huckleberries and myriad other delights.

Plantain Escabeche Recipes

In Diego Texera's recipe for plantain escabeche, small green bananas are pickled with olives and onions, the plants' starchy give tempered by piquant acidity. We keep daydreaming about Texera's escabeche, so we secured the recipe.

Tuyo

We have welcomed Norman Van Aken back to Miami proper with open arms. Our recent meal at his new restaurant overlooking downtown was epic: Conch chowder with saffron and star anise; French toast with curacao-kissed foie gras. This is intense fusion cooking, and we heartily approve. Click here to see previous coverage.
