Brown Butter and #Sage Seared #Gnocchi in Pure Corn Chowder with #chanterelles, charred #corn, #peas and roasted #garlic at @Sauce_nyc and @Lilfrankies last night. I make this corn #chowder that would really tear off your scalp. It's the #purest expression of the seasons corn. It consists of nothing but corn and corn stock. I do not season it at all. The corn is perfect as it is. I have developed a #method to allow the corn itself to do all the work. There is plenty of #starch in corn so there is no need for cream or any thickeners and there is no need for salt either, because all the salt does is impede the corns #natural sweetness. We suspend all the other #flavors within the chowder so they don't integrate and instead stay #layered almost like a swirl of chocolate in a tub of vanilla ice cream. #purecornchowder #signaturedish #cleanandsimple #pureexpression #restraint #technique #chef #foodchoreographer #madscientist #layering (at Sauce Restaurant)
