Still thinking about this fabulous bowl of Chongqing Wanza noodles I had in Jersey City a couple weeks back. Served at a restaurant called @yuanjerseycity, the noodles are similar to Sichuan dandan but have a dollop of yellow pea mash, almost like a curry on top. Never heard of these noodles before but I had to try them after reading @rsietsema ‘s report.

Although I did have an unsettling experience when I walked into the restaurant. I was the only white person there, and my server asked in a joking way, “Let me guess what you’re having? I’ll say stir fried noodles with vegetables and tofu.”

I gave him a scoff, and then said my order would be Chongqing Wanza noodles and the cold chicken in Sichuan mala chile oil. But to my chagrin, the server didn’t even look impressed! I thought about changing my order to pork knuckles or something but it was too late. Ha! Joke’s on me, I guess I’m just a regular Joe after all. At least the noodles were good. 🤣

Contrada Bricconi is a remarkable project nestled in the Bergamasque Alps, blending a working farm, a restored hamlet, and one of Italy’s most sincere gastronomic experiences. Founded by a group of young visionaries committed to revitalising mountain life, the estate is both a living farm and a Michelin-starred restaurant. At the helm is Chef Michele Lazzarini, who returned to his native region after formative years alongside Norbert Niederkofler at the three-star St. Hubertus. His food expresses the clarity, discipline, and technical finesse of that experience, but through a language rooted in the land he calls home.
Here, vegetables, meats, and dairy come from just steps away; menus change with the rhythm of the farm. Dining at Contrada Bricconi isn’t just a meal—it’s a glimpse into a complete ecosystem of sustainability, flavour, and culture. The result is a refined, emotionally resonant cuisine, deeply connected to place without ever feeling nostalgic or heavy-handed.

This special menu combined house classics with seasonal novelties, showcasing the range and depth of Lazzarini’s technique. It opened with fresh, acidic notes—apple and sorrel, whitefish lardo, and char ceviche—before moving into deeper flavours. The snail skewer, done yakitori-style, was juicy and glazed with a house-made garum that lent it a rich, umami punch. The rabbit tartare was paired with sabayone in a dish titled simply “Egg & Rabbit,” full of finesse and great texture.

The pasta section—bottoni with rice and lovage, pappardelle with mushrooms and helichrysum, and fusilli with blackberries—showed consistent excellence. Cooked slightly beyond al dente, each was finished with sauces of depth and clarity.

The grilled trout was arguably the highlight: perfectly cooked with a sauce that lifted rather than masked. Desserts, too, impressed—especially one based on sunchokes and black garlic ice cream, likely Pacojet-spun, impossibly smooth and flavourful. Every dish reflected both intellectual rigor and heartfelt cooking. Less
