Ribollita
"This peasant soup from Italy is raised to incredible heights here. The dish is so inspiring and showed me how something considered so simple can have so much complexity and refinement."

Where I Go Out
Roman fried cauliflower
"I love cauliflower! This is a perfect blend of earthy cauliflower with just the right amount of too much acid, mint and salty capers. A very inspiring dish that I keep thinking about"
Cauliflower sformatino
"This dish has a perfect texture. Made with one of my favorite vegetables, it also has crispy guanciale and a hidden egg surprise inside. Ken's pastas are awesome but this dish rules."
Farm egg
"Crispy rice, a runny egg and smoked meat... Enough said!"
Beef tartare + crispy oysters
"Assertively seasoned, icy cold meat is paired with crispy, briny oysters. I order it every time I go here. Delicious."
At My Venues
Blue crab
"Order anything with blue crab. Kevin is the only chef I'm aware of that steams and then hand picks the meat from blue crabs. It's a big commitment and they make delicious work of it."
