NYE 2018

These gorgeous County Line Mixed Chicories belong on every winter menu. It’s like a tiny chicory jewel box offering a juicy, slightly bitter counterpoint to sweet things like dried fruits, sour things like heirloom citrus, and salty things like pecorino or ricotta salata. First of the season Knoll Rapini and Cardoons expected ***Saturday***.  Crosnes are here.  Also known as Chinese Artichoke, Knotweed, and perhaps coolest of all, Artichoke Betony, these have the winning nuttiness of a sunchoke, textural pop like a water chestnut, and taste really good with other white winter root veg, or prepared in the style of carbonara.  Last of the season fresh Yuzu in house.  Rising C Ranch Blood Oranges are in.   Red currants are gapping and should return next week, though not necessarily in time for nye .   Heirloom winter squashes are basically done, and only the commercial varieties, plus a little delicata and sugar pumpkin, are all that’s left to be had.  Wild mushrooms now include Hedgehog and Yellowfoot.  This is the last week for Chanterelles.  Black Trumpets are limited.
