Elise Kornack: Take Root
Last meal? My last meal would be mussels with shit loads of garlic, a side of broccoli rabe, and amazing bread, all cooked by my mom.
Last meal in Brooklyn? I would want Zahra Tangorra of Brucie to be cooking it for me, no contest! Brucie IS Zahra—her personality comes through her food in every way. She is passionate and dedicated to serving well-seasoned Italian classics and has no problem turning them on their heads. Also, she uses a lot of salt and lemon! This means my last meal would probably be a roast chicken and some perfect pasta, and that sounds pretty great to me.
