Toasted Bread with Yolk Purée
Top Chef Mexico contestant, owner and Executive Chef of Mexikosher in Los Angeles, and winner of Top Chef Boston, Katsuji Tanabe marries the floral notes found in Casa Dragones Joven with an appetizer of pickled shrimp, local root vegetables and egg yolk puree on toast. Tanabe owns Mexikosher Restaurant, the first authentic Kosher Mexican restaurant in Los Angeles, and arguably the first of its kind in the entire United States. He recently expanded Mexikosher to the Upper West Side of New York City and soon plans to open Baranda in Los Angeles, a more upscale dining experience.
