ma peche

went to ma peche last night w/ my college buds…we wanted to showcase something that we felt was indigineous to nyc for our boston friends. felt brave and ordered and ate the fried pigs head - of course i checked before to make sure it wouldn’t be presented as a head on a plate! that would have been kind of gross. instead it was presented more as a flat fried disc. the server said it was mostly cheek…it was really good but i had to keep reminding myself that it wasn’t just the head. also had…

black rice w/ some kind of gooey, not pleasant thing on top

brussel sprouts which were awesome

asparagus w/ poached egg (thumbs up!)

scallops

fluke sashimi

foie gras (yum)

spring rolls (double yum)

veal

sole

calamari

if the servers had been pleasant it would have been a completely enjoyable experience. instead they were arrogant and pushy and not incredibly helpful….what a detraction from food that really is exquisite.

my friends were all good, though…even met a food blogger which i thought was kind of funny ….
