Clam Bar
Clam Bar looks every bit like the vintage big-city chophouses from which it takes its cues. And, in many ways, it acts the part too, doling out ice-cold prawn cocktails followed by charry, full-flavoured steaks and triple-digit Barolo. But what of the artisan sake offered as an aperitif? The surprising yet spot-on presence of tom yum aromatics in that prawn cocktail sauce? Or the soft-spoken buttery sweetness pistachio cream brings to a carefully dressed and aptly named “velvet crab” salad? Smart little idiosyncrasies like these, coupled with confident and charismatic service, keep things fresh and exciting from the first (excellent) martini, to the tart bursts of finger lime tempering the sweetness of coconut sorbet, melon balls and Sauternes jelly. Sure, the sticker shock on some dishes is real, but then so too is the hedonistic spirit.

Lobster Risotto In A $3,000 Parmesan Cheese Wheel
The title says it all. I shipped an entire parmesan cheese wheel from Italy (again) but instead of handmade pasta, we cooked lobster risotto. Risotto is a dish that many believe to be extraordinarily difficult. But I see it instead as a time-consuming yet highly rewarding process. In reality, all you need for a good risotto is a few great ingredients and about 30 focused minutes. Ingredient List: 8 cups chicken or vegetable stock 8 tbsp olive oil 1.5 cups chopped yellow/white onion 1/2 cup chopped shallots 1/2 cup chopped scallions (green onions) 1 tsp salt 1 lb lobster meat + shells for stock 2 cups short-grain italian rice (arborio or carnaroli) 1 cup white wine 4 tbsp butter 1 1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan black pepper
