Blue Cow Kitchen

The crew from Mendocino Farms, with dishes like paper-bag-smoked broccoli and cauliflower, and the Bahn Mini (served in Vietnamese crepes), is pushing for a step further than your typical twist on familiar ingredients; they want your eating experience to be unforgettable. The animal-to-your-face (also known by the snooty as Farm to Table) concept has been honed to delight the diner with an amusement park of tastes. Not to be outdone, the bartenders sling head-scratchers like the "gin and tonic experiment," which is an ongoing study by Dr. Feelgood, we assume.
