The food at Frasca is so good that to parse a meal into a discussion of its disparate parts almost cheapens the experience of dining here, like looking at a Monet painting or listening to Charlie Parker play and saying, "Hey, that's good." Of course it's good; its goodness is not in question. A house as smooth as this, with Bobby Stuckey paving the way; a kitchen as skilled as this, with Lachlan Mackinnon-Patterson taking brilliance to a new level -- they don't need that sort of praise. Frasca's excellence is inherent in everything it does, and even for someone as arrogant, opinionated and cultish about his favorites as I am, there's no sense in passing judgment.

For once, I'm silenced by my pure, unadulterated joy at eating.
