Passed appetizer: Tuna tartare with diced pieces of watermelon in fried wonton cups for texture, with a soy ginger glaze and a wasabi tobiko and Koppert Cress microgreens

About the Entrée:
Chef tells us those fresh ravioli are a challenge to cook en masse. But the secret is in the preparation.
“It only takes two or three minutes [to cook] fresh pastas,” Kanowsky says. “But if you don’t knead the pasta well enough, it’s going to be gummy. It’s all about the preparation of the dough.”
