. I have eaten at eateries by chefs such as Bobby Flay
and Emeril Lagasse, both great dining experiences. This was something entirely different, first off we had to make reservations a month in advance to eat at 5:30 on a Wednesday. Once we arrived we were greeted by a packed house and no sight of Tyler. The menu was a collection of favorites you could find in any Tyler Florence cookbook. We started with a round of drinks, heavy on exotic juices and obscure ingredients. Next up came an order of poutine which was described as Canadian junk food. Braised short ribs placed on top of french fries with cheese and veal jus. If you think that sounds good, and rich, you have no idea. This was one of the most decadent things to ever pass my lips.
I ordered the chicken palliard, thinly pounded chicken breast fried in pancetta infused oil topped with greens. It was excellent if not the safe choice. My peers opted for the fried chicken and the salmon. The chicken was the best I have ever had... hands down. It was so good we finished off the leftovers over Chimay at Bob's Chop House several hours later. The salmon looked dry, but hey, you can't win them all.
I have eaten at a few dozen restaurants in the city and the Wayfare is easily one of the best. I would recommend it to locals and visitors alike.
