Dassara
M.O.B brought us vegan-friendly, Brooklyn Bridge-shaped dough sandwiches, Potlikker gussied up rootsy, regional food like Dutch pancakes, corned beef tongue, and Ploughman’s lunches, Dassara invented “Brooklyn Ramen,” The Pines made fine-dining dishes out of virtuous ingredients (quark) and good for you grains (amaranth,) and PeteZaaz gave us the fully loaded, purple baked potato pie. But did you know what Moorish-and-Jewish-accented Spanish food was before La Vara came along? Neither did we.
