Thank you Johnathon for organizing the affair, and thank you Chef Ryan and Pied a Terre for allowing us to hijack their bistro and menu. Anyone up for some more calves' brains?

Thank you Johnathon for organizing the affair, and thank you Chef Ryan and Pied a Terre for allowing us to hijack their bistro and menu.

Anyone up for some more calves’ brains?

I will definitely add that to my NYC must eats. I am happy to report that chef Ryan enjoyed the dinner as much as we did and has added many items to tantalize the taste buds of us seeking out of the ordinary dishes. I was privy to a sneak peek at the new Fall menu and the wild game and mushroom dishes look amazing and I was delighted to see some very unique dishes added! Cheval anyone?! Also, there is an Offal Dinner in the planning for late November at Pied A Terre. More info as it comes to me will be posted! Momofuku Ssam sounds like a treat!

I still haven't tried calves brains or kidneys, but I'm pretty well versed in bone marrow, sweetbreads, tripe, and black pudding. What a shame this offal feast is not offered on Pied a Terre's normal menu (I would fly back just for that!) No matter, I'm finding that Eastcoast restaurants are slightly ahead of the curve when it comes to offal, and I was lucky enough to enjoy some excellent dishes at Au Pied de Cochon (foie gras/tripe) and Momofuku Ssam bar (tendon/crispy pighead) both in the past week :) What a fabulous meal!
