Travels took me to Cleveland and Pittsburgh last week. Had the privilege of trying out Michael Symmon's new restaurant. The man himself was there craning it out in the kitchen.
Tried the pig tails. Kind of a cross between the richness/fat of pork belly and cartilage of rib tips. Tried the lamb ribs. Good but wasn't my favorite. Person I was with had the pork ribs. Very good. Smoke flavor wasn't overly present. A deep, almost beefy essence.
On the way out we remembered I did a backlit graphic for the restaurant. The little boy on the left is Michael.
