new Acme!...

New start, new rules: 1 sentence per photo, minimal formatting/post photo editing blahblahblah.
ACME!! Yummy--better portions than Isa, different path than Battersby...def worth the trip!

Sweet shrimp & bison tartare--briny, a touch of sweet, great contrasts with endive and red cabbage, bison-y is all I can put down at the moment (a little gamey? Albie didn't take to it as much but I did! Moohahahahah!):

Split pea soup--Albie's fave of the savory: pea shoots are a nice touch, as pea-esque as u can get (in a good way):


Sunchokes! My favorite--I could've sworn there was some basil or something like it in there, but there's black truffles and gruyere:

Pork cheek! Very rich, capers cut thru nicely, super tender, another savory I liked.
Seabass--not too memorable, carmelized tomatoes was a nice touch (so were bitter greens).


SWEEEEETS!!! beer & bread porridge: i'd like it a little more viscous, but it was different and tasty--not too beer-y, same taste profile as bread pudding.

Chocolate crisps (with incredibly rich chocolate ganache & some white choco ganache i think)--very strong coffee ice cream--packs a punch but clean and refreshing after something like pork cheeks!!)

Had some coffee, i wanted to pinch this sugar 'pig'!
