The Dish Of The Day.

[Paradigm]

I didn't take a picture, but last weekend I had the absolute best Steak Tartare in Toronto. They mix it to order, so she made it with just shallots and salt, no other crap to interfere wit the raw beef taste. I am so craving it right now.

Just the thought of it turns my stomach.

Japanese food is beautiful even in a plastic carton.

Forgive me, but you are still misspelling it. It's bánh mì, not banh mi, according to wiki.

I can't be assed with diacritics.

Fried puffy bread and curried chickpeas.

Simple mais convenable, as my mother would say.

Not after you've had seafood poisoning, the shrimp worries me. The whole 'open refrigeration' thing gives me the willies with meat.

Highly stylized food like this is expensive, and therefore must be delicious in addition to being beautiful. It's hard to fuck up pickled mackerel, so though I would definitely eat that, I wouldn't pay extra for what is essentially a very simple dish.

The spinach on this is such an affectation.

And like a lot of decent meals, it's 'simple' until you try to execute it yourself.

A beautiful Laotian larb.

Steak tartare is so gross. Did they serve it with a soft cooked egg on top?

Ehhh not really I like to put something fresh on top such as spinach to give you a little relief from the heavy meat and potatoes.

That little relief is entirely psychological in this case. You ought to learn to embrace a good indulgence. That's what this sandwich ought to be, plain old pleasure.

Adding 'something fresh' is like adding 'something guilty' to a perfectly good sin.

From a strictly culinary point of view, the spinach does nothing.

I disagree, but it really is personal preference. Me, I like it. Gives a nice extra layer.

If it were a green more substantial than spinach, or a less parsimonious portion, I might agree.

I do agree the picture is a little stingy (I took it from google). I would have put more. Or some grilled asparagus works too.
