| - I love Taste for the simple reason that I get to try EVERYTHING. Which is obviously the point.
I'm 'that girl.' You know, that one that pours over every menu, changes her mind at least five times, then blurts something out randomly when the server comes to take the order. 'That girl' immediately experience diner's remorse and then proceeds to negotiate a bite of all of the dishes at the table. Not irritating at all.
So Taste is a good spot for me. Some of my favourites:
- Duck fat popcorn. Sounds disgusting, but OH. EM. GEE. It's like crack, without the obviously health and social implications.
- Gnocchi. I will devour anything associated with truffles. This is no different.
- Mac'n'cheese. I have spent the last two years perfecting a mac'n'cheese recipe, so I will say decisively (and without bias, obviously) that isn't as good as mine. But still worth the trip.
- Pork chop. If you've read my review for Boxwood, you will understand my devotion to pork as a meat medium.
- Beef vindaloo. Nom nom nom.
I also really like the beef tartare, which I'm kind of picky about. The only thing I've had there that didn't float my boat was the fish tasting board. Turns out that I don't like cold fish. It's a texture thing. I'm sure a seafood fan would love it.
Food aside, I love the atmosphere. Small and intimate, where the love of good food and good wine abounds. It's my kind of place.
