The New WD-50 Tasting Menu

It was announced earlier in the week that culinary wizard Wylie Dufresne was overhauling his tasting menu.  He has created an entirely new menu at his 50 Clinton Street restaurant WD-50 and it will become available to the public starting next Thursday, May 10th.

At $155, the tasting runs thirteen courses.  An optional wine pairing is available for $85 and includes booze from France, Germany, Japan, Greece, Italy, and Spain.

The Times has a slideshow featuring some of the new dishes, which include sole with black licorice-pil-pil, lobster roe with charred lemon, root beer ribs, and an amaro soaked egg yolk that comes with peas 'n carrots, kind of.  The 'peas' are tiny balls of carrots that have been rolled in pea powder, obviously.
