"This sandwich is consistently perfect: gooey AND crispy cheese, fresh bread with a touch of garlic, and just the right amount of salt. Outerlands knows what's up!"

"Star ⭐️- the cheese course from our #TheElements menu. Paciencia, a raw, Spanish, olive-oil-rubbed sheep’s milk cheese is presented as a binary system: one curled from raw shavings, the other wrapped in brioche, breaded, and fried until melty inside, before being wrapped in gold leaf. Accompanying the stars is a constellation of gold-dusted quince purée. . #nottetedemoine 📸: @pedrobatad"
