Wolvesmouth

Underground dinning is definitely a trend in LA and Craig Thornton's wolvesmouth is definitely the premier of them. I was luckily enough to be picked and I'm definitely grateful to be able to go. Interestingly, the word wolvesmouth has come together partly due to Craig's interest in wolves (he is quite a bit of an expert in wolves).   

Pork Belly - crystal celery root, grapes, spanish blue

Crab - cheddar fritter, peas, tendrils

Just look at how Craig cuts out the nicely cooked John Dory!Nothing goes to waste!

John Dory - pickled onion, jalapeno and cilantro mousse, tortilla sauce, Avocado

Scallop, potato, potato puree, nasturtium

Broccoli, Brioche, Pesto sabayon, bacon, romaine, shallot relish

Rabbit - anson mills polenta, gruyere. yellowfoot mushroom, rabbit jus

Chicory Malt - Cabbage, roasted carrot, parsnip, brussels, beet, pink lady apple, horseradish

lamb (braised & meatball), ras el hanout, yogurt, pink lady apple, black chickpea

Panna Cotta, salted chocolate gelee, Ria krisspy treat

Key Lime Curd, pound cake, Marinated Citrus, mandarin orange, pop rocks cake,creame fraiche

I thoroughly enjoyed this meal. Needless to say that Craig's creativity is very apparently through this meal. The john dory is out of this world with the tortilla sauce, which was the favorite of the night. The scallop was also another favorite with the potato puree, which is very light yet bold in flavor. Everything plays out so well in this meal and i'm grateful that I'm a part of it. Hopefully, I get to dine here again in the future.

Last words: Although it is hard to get in, I'd suggest everyone gives it a shot. also, Craig says he is looking to do some multiple days event in the future. So keep an eye out for those opportunities!
