On the Menu: David Chang Goes Vegetarian

David Chang

Think it’s hard to get into Momofuko Ko? Try getting a vegetarian-friendly meal out of David Chang, whose menus have famously warned off non-meat eaters. But did you ever wonder what this multiple JBF Award winner would make if he couldn’t use pork (or beef, or chicken…)? Well, we did, and the lucky diners who snagged seats at tonight’s dinner at the Beard House are about to find out. Here’s a sneak peek at the menu:

Hors d’Oeuvre:

Smoked Potato Salad with Fines Herbes and Dill Granité

Salt-Pickled Celeriac Sheets with Squash Farce, Donburi, and Chervil

Red Ball Radishes with Butter, Poppy Seeds, and Black Sea Salt

Dinner:

Eckerton Hill Farm Cherry Tomatoes with Tofu, Shiso, and Sesame

Hawthorne Valley Buttermilk Salad with Chives, Carrots, Apple Juice, and Pine Nuts

Pea Soup with Dashi, Burnt Pea Tendrils, and Cucumber Balls

Migliorelli Farm Beets with Seaweed Threads, Quark Cheese, Sugar-Snap Peas, and Beet Jus

Roasted King Oyster Mushrooms with Pistachios, Icicle Radishes, and Daikon

Sweet Corn Parfait with Chocolate and Sour Cream

Tristar Strawberry Sorbet with Celery Root and Yellow Cake

Stay tuned for pictures from this one-of-a-kind event!

So he’s making a bunch of salads and then some oysters? I’ve had more imaginative meals at Kate’s.
