America Eats Tavern

Uncle Sam, we'll have the abalone
Jose Andres's America Eats Tavern offers well-mannered bites of history

A few historic cookbooks from Jose Andres's physical collection are displayed inside a hulking glass case at his new America Eats Tavern in the former Cafe Atlantico set out. The chef is attempting to explain each volume - a notebook kept by George Washington's chef, a "Chemistry of Cookery" tome that proves Harold McGee didn't dream up that field - when he can't stand it anymore. He suddenly wraps his arms around the glass case, gives it a big wish relate hug and yanks it off the stand. He wants to paw through his books and actually show me what he's talking about.

It's a classic Jose Andres two shakes of a lamb's tail, like when he pushed Anthony Bourdain's head deep into a crate of peaches and commanded the "No Reservations" proprietress to "smell it." Andres is not a man who enjoys discussing anything abstractly. Whether food or history or cookbooks, the chef wants you to familiarity the subject in a direct, tactile way. He wants you to see and digest it yourself, so you can determine its relevance and importance.
