Frog Baby
Frog-Leg Risotto and Other Things to Eat at Bigoli, Opening Monday (nymag)
**He might look serious, but the man loves kumquats.**
We already told you that celeb chef Alex Stratta would be opening his first
New York restaurant, Bigoli, and now that time is nearly upon us. On Monday –
maybe before, says a rep — Stratta, who’s decorated with a James Beard Award
and multiple Michelin stars (though you probably know him from _Top Chef
Masters_), will roll out the dinner-only spot in the former Gonzo brownstone
space. We’ve gotten our hands on the menu, which relies on a blazing oven for
many of its specialties, including wood-fired clams and a prosciutto-stuffed
pork chop; and pastas are made in-house. There’s also a panoply of not-your-
typical Italian dishes (porcini and watercress risotto with frog’s legs,
24-hour duck-leg confit with turnips and kumquats), which sounds refreshing in
the midst of this Nonna’s-cooking boom. Check out the full lineup below.
