This one goes to Talde, for keeping the ball in the air at three terrific kitchens. He may not always be behind the burners nowadays, but a well-trained staff ably executes his dishes and carries out his message…inventive Asian fusion at Talde, craveable sporty grub at Pork Slope, and rustic comfort food fare at Thistle Hill Tavern. All kicked into high gear by a tasty through-line of Frank’s Red Hot or sriracha.
