Good morning World! reading Saveur daily and i just had to comment. Today’s is Head On Shrimp with Chile Oil and Scallions reviewed from Hart’s in Brooklyn. the chefs is urfa biber and aleppo chile pepper to lend a smoky- spicy flavor to shrimp. Glorious.
the featured chefs forgot – or bent the rule – that everything on the plate should be edible. Experience dictates, customers will pass on the food on the plate that looks at you – whole fish, head on shrimp – well are in the same boat.
