3Dessert: The S'more BBBMenuMenu Items

Dessert: The S'more
Chef Slowick: The S'more, the most offensive assault on the human palate ever contrived. Unethically sourced chocolate and gelatinized sugar water imprisoned by industrial grade biscuit. It's everything wrong with us and yet we associate it with innocence. Childhood. Mom and Dad. But what transforms this fucking monstrosity is fire. The purifying flame. It nourishes us, warms us, re-invents us, forges and destroys us. We must embrace the flame. We must be cleansed. Like martyrs or heretics we can be subsumed and made anew.

Chef Slowik: Here you have house-smoked Bresse chicken thighs al pastor and our own tortillas made with heirloom masa, one of Hawthorn's signature dishes. We change our menu constantly, but, as Miss Bloom knows, this has been a staple since day one... Anyways, because we are always innovating, because we fear irrelevance... an update to a classic: images on the tortillas have been made using a laser engraving machine. We hope this taco night evokes strong memories for us all. Enjoy.

Chef Slowik: Good evening. Welcome to Hawthorne. I am Julian Slowik, and tonight it'll be our pleasure to feed you.

Chef Slowik
Chef Slowik: Over the next few hours you will ingest fat, salt, sugar, protein, bacteria, fungi, various plants and animals, and, at times, entire ecosystems. But I have to beg of you one thing. It's just one. Do not eat. Taste. Savor. Relish. Consider every morsel that you place inside your mouth. Be mindful. But do not eat. Our menu is too precious for that. And look around you. Here we are on this island. Accept. Accept all of it. And forgive. And on that note... food!

3Chef Slowik OtherQuotesQuotes

Chef Slowik
Chef Slowik: This is my mother. As you can see, she is rather drunk. This is not unusual. When I was seven years old, one Tuesday my father came home quite drunk. Also not unusual. Mother grew angry and screamed at him. At which point he proceeded to wrap a telephone cord around her neck and pull it tight. I wept and screamed and begged him to stop. To make him stop, I finally had to stab him in the thigh with kitchen scissors. You remember that, mother, don't you? I suppose I should have stabbed him in his throat that evening. But we are not so smart when we are young.
