We all know that vegetables are good for us, but Dirt Candy shows us how good they can also taste. Chef Amanda Cohen’s menu never hides the fact that you’re eating vegetarian (and vegan) cuisine, but with her ethical approach and haute techniques, these simple-seeming eats are transformed into artistic bites. Broccoli hot dogs, topped with a warm broccoli kraut and a Carolina mustard sauce, are flavorful and fun, while the carrot slider is as tender and satisfying as a Big Mac. The vegetables aren’t just for dinner either—they also star in desserts like the triple-layer cauliflower cake with white icing, dots of caramel, and a small scoop of caramel ice cream. The tasting menu ensures that you’ll be able to sample a wide variety with five or nine courses.
