2009 James Beard award finalists.
Yet another reason I need to check out Zahav. Any of your North Jersey folks been to Cucharamama?
Comments
i thought about going to zahav tomorrow. it was that or cochon. ultimately i picked the pork-heavy place. it is my birthday afterall.
rachel has been there and says it’s pretty great, which i believe. his cooking at marigold was pretty top-notch.
plus, he is a vetri-disciple. the cooks coming out of vetri’s kitchen are everywhere. marc vetri has had such a significant impact on food in philadelphia
So I guess Cucharamama finally won this. We went for the first time a couple of months ago and it was phenomenal.
