A while back two of Dodo's friends visited NY for the first time. One from Singapore, the other from Chi-town. We took them to Locanda Verde for brunch. It's pretty schwanks - chock full of bright-toothed model babes and well dressed enablers. Cleary, with my broken mouth smile and day before yesterday's outfit, I wasn't enabling shit. No worries, we weren't there to pose, we were there to stuff ourselves. Besides, Locanda Verde is wasted on the slimmies - you gotta put down the iBaubles, roll up your sleeves and dive into their sumptuous high-post brunch.
Tops in their brunch pyramid, one step above the freshly made buns, breads and muffins (not pictured), are the crispy garlic potatoes. They're zesty, crunchy grenades that I tossed mouthward with abandon. With rearview mirror thinking, I should've paired these with the breads, a few cocktail chasers and a latte exclamation point.
