Editorial Review
Iron Chef Alex Stupak, late of pastry duties at Alinea and wd~50, crosses over to the savory side. Name translates to "push," traditional Mexican dishes get herded into modern territory. Spin-off location goes more intimate and a little more upscale. Creative salsas like smoked cashew or guacamole with pistachios to start. Shared plates to follow, think sopes with pork tongue, sweet potato chalupas, or sweetbreads with pumpkin seed.
