Professor Gourmand — My best dishes of 2023

It’s March. I really screwed up on applying for unemployment compensation so in the meantime, I teased this all through 2023, so without further ado, here they are.

First, from Oy Bar, the G/OG burger. The regular burger is fine but this, with toma, horseradish/chive crème fraiche, garlic, shiso-pickled red onion, lettuce, on a Challah bun, was even more to my taste (horseradish, after all). With that, two Gin& Tawnics, now using one part Las Californias Citrico Gin and two parts yuzu liqueur and tonic. OMG!!!!! Jeff could not be getting closer to my tastes if he knew what they were…
