Yeah, it's impressive how few vegetarian options there are on the menu. The crust has lard in all but the thin crust. Pretty empty on a Wednesday night, we got seated without a wait at 7:30. It was a...

#112 was a favorite dish on the table, intense bursts of soaked spongy soy. I liked this a lot. The preserved veggies in the Beggar's Chicken were salty and added the needed dimension to this subtle...
