Get excited.
A few weeks back we shared the wonderful news that Ellen Yin and Eli Kulp of Fork and High Street on Market were taking over the menu at a.kitchen and a.bar and today we got a peek at the new concept and menu.
Kulp is introducing a charcoal grill into the tiny open kitchen in a.kitchen revamping the menu into the following categories: Tastes to Start (i.e. shareable snacks), Mostly Raw (not just seafood, meats and greens here too), Small Plates, Charcoal Grilled and seasonal sides. Oh and of course there is going to be a killer bread program to accompany a.kitchen's incredible wine and cocktail lists. Here's a look at some of the menu items to look forward to:
Grilled Prawns with chili vinaigrette
Barbecued Chicken Thighs with mustard, dandelion and sesame
Deviled Skate with sambal and charred Napa cabbage
Grilled East Coast Squid stuffed with Mangalista 'njuda
Shiitakes wrapped in pine paper and toasted with seaweed and fresh thyme
