Dara adores the porchetta at Il Gatto, a Hamm’s-themed blast from the past, Stacatto closes, and the world’s best popcorn (made here in Minnesota).
Vegan coconut “bacon,” caramelized pumpkin and armagnac prune pudding, saucy doughnut ball and apple pudding for two and apple baby cakes on a shortbread crust with hot caramel sauce from Sue Doeden, sweet potato zuppa, witches’ fingers, chorizo and black bean soup plus great photography, caramelized balsamic red onions, Thai coconut fried rice with tofu, and good ol’ pork braised in apple cider.
