COLCA – kanpachi, leche de tigre, sweet potato, chulpi 😋
My foray into Peruvian cuisine occurred over four years ago at China Chilcano where I first met @chefcarlosdelgg. After trying most of the menu, I concluded the food was good though not exactly memorable. So in coming to @causadc_ last weekend, I arrived with few expectations. I was more excited to see Chef Carlos again, now in his own space introducing a fine-dining concept new to Washington, DC: a Peruvian tasting menu. As for the food this time? In short, I, and my dining companion, found it remarkable! 👏
At Causa, the humble but delicious potato showed up in multiple forms: as the restaurant’s namesake for an opening snack, as salt-baked fingerlings, and later, as a pavé in a meat-and-potatoes course. A ceviche dish surprised with frozen pebbles of leche de tigre, contrasting textures and temperatures. The contemporary presentation was riveting in sight and taste. Grilled salmon belly, a play on street food, was so succulent that it practically dissolved without much chewing. It was served alongside a chunk of meltingly tender beef tongue. The morsel of meat tasted erotically alluring, comparable to a French (or Latin to be more appropriate) kiss received the same moment you consumed it. A bomba rice course infused with herby notes of culantro and stuffed with rings of squid comforted and nourished even as it stunned my taste buds 🥰
All the aforementioned descriptions only describe about half of the dining experience offered at Causa. Perhaps the best compliment I can give is the meal has motivated me to visit Peru—sooner rather than later—to explore further and deeper the wealth of flavors of its diverse cuisine. I want to learn about the cities, towns, and regions Chef Carlos used as course names in his tasting menu, so I may get a sense of the history, memories, and nostalgia that inspired his cooking. And maybe, I can also understand the pride and love that has infused this cuisine ❤️
Much thanks to @chefcarlosdelgg and his team for this holistic and revelatory introduction 🙏 Less

Judging from the size, it could have been the thigh of a Brontosaurus 🦕

1) Bánh Mì Catfish Po-Boy – salt & pepper Maryland blue catfish, mayo, pickles, jalapeño 🤤
2) Peanut Noodle Bowl – peanut hoisin sauce, Temomi noodles, pea tendrils, chili garlic crunch, tofu 😋
The current Bánh Mì @moonrabbitdc is layered with much history and heritage: baguette by way of French colonialism, fish local to the DMV, and regional inspiration that pulls from @chefkevintien’s prior experience living and working in Louisiana. You won’t find any of that information on the menu nor is it necessary to enjoy this delicious sandwich. But knowing the motivations behind a dish may increase empathy, so we might understand why a chef may purposely present a food that looks and tastes different from our dining memories of another time and place. Food doesn’t always have to be precious or so serious or even exact to be good. As long as it pleases your palate, it’s fine. This Bánh Mì does that 🙏
