Summing up my gluttony adventures of 2022, one of the best meals had to be our Michelin star experience at @vestrynyc, helmed by Chef Shaun Hergatt, famously known for his previous Michelin star ventures at SHO and Juni. Located with The Dominick hotel in SOHO, Vestry is out to impress with its Japanese-influenced American plates, focusing primarily on vegetable and seafood.

Although I am no fan of raw fish, I enjoyed the Big Eye Tuna, a playful culinary art piece of tuna tartare served on house-made potato crisps shaped like fish, tarragon and Kalamata black olives. It was handled so delicately that I enjoyed the creaminess instead of focusing on the raw texture that I am usually afraid of.
