For my second go around with Underground Food Collective last Thursday, it was luckily indoors-- but where?
The address 1287 Atlantic Avenue, kitchen of Sweet Deliverance sounded friendly-- but didnt look it.
A torn sign that read "Welcome to Dinner. Fourth Floor" greeted me as I hesistantly climbed up the stairs. God, I should get our of Carroll Gardens more often.
As usual, you should never judge a book by its cover.
We were instantly greeted with Concord grape liquor and cured pork liver with kumquat preserve on toast. My stomache grumbled with hunger as the pork liver touched my tongue-- and I greedily grabbed 1 more.
Should I have? Of course, it was melt in your mouth good! But little did I know that the night would entail an 8 course winter bounty from New York State and Wisconsin. I mean normally supper clubs only serve 4 courses!
Spicy Braun salad w/ sweet potatoe chips. Those pork jellies were yum!
Duck Tartare w/ pickled ramps. First time ever having duck raw. Just as good as beef tartare!
Pork Rielletes w/ mushroom and black radish.
Roasted beet salad with citrus. Just as beautiful as it tasted! Beets + grapefruit make a sweet tart combination!
Sunchoke, Carrot and Salsify Salad w/ lemon and sunflower oil vinaigrette.
Salad of endive w/ pears, pecans and ricotta.
Hello! Pork Pot Pie. Hands down favorite.
UFC 2 Year Ham w/ smoked mushrooms & 18 month Pleasant Ridge Reserve Cheese.
Untouched Smughaven Spinach-- naturally very sweet!
Fermented Citrus Cake.
Many thanks to the chefs of Underground Food Collective--
and of course, Cecily. A portion of that nights dinner was donated to East New York Farms.
