With the short lived restaurant from Ben Roche and Thomas Bowman now closed it seems silly for me to delve too deeply into what did and did not work about the space on Hubbard Street, but suffice it to say that from the intriguing cocktails to the $24 jar of a dozen fresh cookies much of what my sister, Nate, and I ordered that night was playful yet well conceptualized and fun but also delicious. While service could have used a tune up (or simply a bit less arrogance) I look forward not only to what comes next in the space, but also to where Chef Roche ends up as dishes such as the Fun Dip Octopus, Grilled Cheese Dessert, and Candy Cap Foie Gras all indicated to me that the young chef\u2019s time with Homaro Cantu was well spent honing an eye for intriguing ingredient pairings while at the same time overcoming his teacher\u2019s unfortunate penchant for form over flavor.<\/p>\n
