The Loving Spoonful: Night of the Zombie
[Mary Kong] 06 15 2011The Loving Spoonful breaks out with extraordinary dining for the adventurous…and the undead.
It was the darkest and hottest of nights. The air was thick with humidity and the streets were nearly empty. It was a Tuesday night and I was on the patio of Bar Pilar, delicately eating my pan-fried calf brains ($8) with the graceful zeal of a Katana sword-wielding, Regency era woman in England, à la Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.
The knife glides easily through the crisp, breaded patty that hides within it white matter, which is whisper-soft like silken tofu.
Yet like all flesh, there is a lusciousness of fat, an earthiness in flavor enhanced by the saltiness of the caper brown sauce.
“It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains.”
Naturally, if I were a genteel woman in 19th-century England trained to fight off hordes of the undead, I would not be in possession of brains of any sort.
But if they were as lush and buttery as they are at Bar Pilar, perhaps I would reconsider.
