“Then the heavy hitter landed! That miso glazed pork collar with porcini rub, creamy polenta, charred cipollini, and vincotto. You gotta be kidding me. At this point things began to feel silly in the most unbelievable and satisfying way. This dish had weight to it I’m telling you! The pork was tender but still had texture while not falling apart and not overworked. The porcini added depth factoring in the sweetness of the miso glaze. The polenta was creamy without being soupy and being comforting but refined. The cipollini onions brought sweetness, and the vincotto tied everything together with that subtle acidity that keeps you going back for another bite even when you swear you’re full.”
