Description
At Jose Garces's colorful Spanish spot in the Blackstone Hotel, chef de cuisine Michael Fiorello welcomes summer the way so many of us do: with barbecue. Only his is Catalan-style. Flavorful charred octopus is tossed with green olives and confit potato while grilled flat-iron steak is marinated in a rich sauce of nora chiles, roasted garlic and honey. Signatures like garrotxa-stuffed cipollini onions and spicy housemade pork sausage make enough of an impact that you'll believe Fiorello's claim to be something very different from a "run-of-the-mill tapas bar."
