Forager's SaladVegan not confirmed

Every week, in the spring and summer, our forager heads into the fields, woods, and mountains of New York and New Jersey to find the freshest and most unusual wild plants, roots, berries, and mushrooms she can. We turn her harvest into one of the most unusual salads you'll ever have, full of surprising flavors like sea rocket, lambsquarters, lemon balm, anise hyssop, and clammy goosefoot.

PepperVegan not confirmed

This is our take on an aquachile, a broth with a lot of depth, that we use to cook haricot coco beans, which are the tiniest white beans we could find. It's served with doughnut-cut fresh pepper rings, and tempura fried Sichuan king oyster mushrooms, served alongside cucumbers and avocado. There's a pepper cress salad as well, allowing you to let you taste every different combination of peppers — black peppers, red peppers, yellow peppers, Sichuan peppers, orange peppers, pepper cress, guajillo peppers, ancho peppers — without blowing out your taste buds with heat.
