spatchcocked chicken will cook in about half the time required for an unsplit bird.
If you try dry brining and
spatchcock methods this year, please let me know how it turned out.

Look at meat: super-fresh presentation behind glass, well-butchered meat, beacon products such as
spatchcock chicken and vacuum-packed dry-aged beef.
Dishes include wagyu basturma, hazelnut falafel, twice cooked

The way to order here is to get four dishes -- my favourites are the Loaded Potato Skins ( ` 340), Zucchini French Fries ( ` 340), BBQ Smoked

spatchcock lemon and herb baby chicken or garlic prawns are also the order of the day.
The dishes that stood out included the Tuna Tartare with Beluga Caviar and a Quail Egg in a Scallop Pouch, Wagyu with Lime and Wasabi, Tetsuya's signature dish Confit of Petuna Ocean Trout served with Konbu and Fennel and the twice cooked de-boned
Spatchcock with Foie Gras and Gobo.
