The BEST Restaurant I've Ever Experienced: chi SPACCA

🥩🔥🍎 chi SPACCA: The Perfect 10 on the Tchotchke of Mediocrity 🍎🔥🥩

This week, I finally crown my very first perfect restaurant: chi SPACCA, the Italian butcher by Nancy Silverton and the best dining experience of my life. On Valentine's Day 2023, I discovered what true excellence tastes like, from cozy, candlelit vibes and flawless service to indulgent bites of steak, marrow, and candied apple pie. It was decadent, joyful, and unforgettable… even if our server's beef & bone marrow pot pie presentation went a little sideways.

🥔 Onion Rings & Mashed Potatoes That Redefine "Sides"
🥩 Beef & Bone Marrow Pot Pie: Messy, Beautiful, Delicious
🥬 Salanova Lettuce Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette = Good for a Salad...

👩‍🍳 Cozy Vibes and a View of the Chefs at Work
🍎 A Whole Candied Apple Baked Inside a Pie (Yes, Really)
