Is it Thursday yet?
Dark indeed. Had we noticed that El Mango was eating the last of the wine-braised duck potpie – sold out by the time we ordered - we would have stolen a bite…or three. The remaining menu items though did us well. The mussels with Thai coconut curry broth and hidden gems of wok-seared pork belly lardons(!) were good to the point that we took turns unabashedly draining the last of the broth. The winner for us though was the whiskey-soaked eel/banana tempura over sesame and avocado brown rice…or was it the burrata with uni and olive oil crostini?? …or was it the freshly made salt and chili spiced chicharones the fine MSF folks graciously doled out to those of us milling about waiting and hoping the next name called would be ours!? All I can say is that Thursdays now hold a special place in my belly…err, heart. My thanks also to all the eel and sea urchin and pork bellies that were harmed in the making of this flipping amazing meal.
**Update** MSF is now open Saturdays too! To commemorate their first Saturday night they’re bringing back some classics. Most notably their PB&J…as in Berkshire Kurobuta Pork Belly and Jicama with Pickled Jalapeno and Cilantro Aioli on homemade Flatbread
