BDoF: Txikito
For the final part of our BDoF, we headed around the corner from El Quinto Pino to Txikito. (It’s Basque. You pronounce it chee-KEE-toe, as in chiquito in Spanish.) Alex Raij, formerly the chef at both Tia Pol and El Quinto PIno, just opened a few weeks ago. That is why, if you read the post on El Quinto Pino, you might recognize this dish. It’s called arraultza, and is made with sofrito, chorizo, and — you guessed it — a quail egg.

BDoF: Del Posto and El Quinto Pino
Our BDoF continued Saturday with drinks at Del Posto and the first stop on our tapeo — or tapas run: El Quinto Pino. We had the most amazing new taste there — an uni sandwich on a ficelle spread with butter and Korean mustard.

BDoF: Gino
We had a BDoF Saturday that included tons o’walking, a little bit of culture and stops in several food establishments, including an old fashioned red sauce joint on Lex called Gino. It’s been around since 1945, and by the looks of it hasn’t changed much. Being at a red sauce joint, well, we had to get red sauce, didn’t we?
