Millennium Restaurant vegan pizza Monday! On the left, Masala Pizza: Miyoko’s cashew mozzarella, roasted corn, garlic & potatoes, rich tomato-curry cream, pistachio & curry leaf chaat; the latter two sauces debate in your mouth with the potato and corn refereeing. On the right, Peach Shishito Pizza: peaches, shishito peppers, walla walla sweet onion, Miyoko’s cashew mozzarella, marjoram-lemon oil, arugula; only Eric Tucker, the god of vegetables, can combine arugula, peaches, and shishito peppers.
The two smartest pizzas I’ve ever eaten.
earlier: from vegetable hate to love
I’ve had many great food experiences at Millennium over the years. Back in 2014:
If Dr. Who revealed future me dining on black olives, Brussels sprouts, and turnips, 8-year old me would have sobbed for days, because as I child I hated all three, especially brussel sprouts; my father would torment me into eating just one. It became I-can’t-believe-this-tastes-so-good delicious by sublime balance and taste expansion from dabs of additional ingredients; 10× harder than slapping bacon on top. To make such unpromising vegetables delicious through such creative, wilful inventiveness is sublime.
