Five Bites on Friday

Thanks to a flood of submissions, Five Bites has been granted a stay of execution. Watch for the tantalizing lists of what your neighbors are eating to roll out through the summer. To celebrate, I figured it was time to offer a list of my own. (As a disclaimer, my schedule has been packed with media dinners recently and some of these dishes come from those events. Makes them no less delicious though.)

1. Baby octopus paired with a quail egg over sliced avocado, lentils and pig knuckles at Komi

2. Trout roe with cava, brioche and creme fraiche at Hook

3. Soft shell crab pie at Comet Ping Pong

4. Guava flan at Las Canteras

5. Poh pia (chicken, jicama, bean sprouts and cilantro wrapped in small pancakes) at Straits of Malaya

Five Bites is a weekly opportunity for you to tell Metrocurean readers which dishes you're enjoying around town. E-mail five of your favorite dishes or drinks and whether you'd like your name and a picture included to metrocurean@gmail.com.
