Immersive Culinary Art

Have you ever watched the magic of a chef preparing a masterpiece? Try to get a reservation at Blanca immediately. It is an offshoot of critically acclaimed pizza purveyor Roberta’s in Bushwick. Chef/owner Carlo Mirarchi (pictured above) has been preparing a tasting menu for a select few at the bar at Roberta’s for some time and has expanded the operation into a large, airy and comfortable kitchen in the adjacent space. 12 lucky eaters get to observe the performance from the open kitchen as the chefs toss, sear, chop, and prepare the 20 course tasting menu. The food is amazing, I also suggest the beverage pairing, but you will need an Uber. Tasting menus can often be pretentious and make me feel trapped, but this one is just right. You feel like you are in a friend’s kitchen. Clearly, those in the know enjoyed the experience as much as me, as it earned 2 Michelin stars. Immersion achieved!
