Jabroni’s menu: Summer 2024

Jul 26, 2024

Alright, we’ve got a menu for this running bit that is becoming more real by the day. You can find it here:

Some thoughts on what went into the decisions here:

I believe in writing the things you want to read, and cooking the things you want to eat. Are the dishes a little disjointed here? Sure. I’m cool with that. It’s simple, it’s snacky, it’s easy. It’s dip and aioli heavy. The proteins are mostly just seafood. That’s enough of a through line for me. I like food that makes people happy. There’s no need on my end to be impressive beyond that.
I like to overindex on prep-heavy, easy-execution dishes. A majority of the menu does not need to be made to order, which is intentional.
As promised, there are no true entrees. (No one will miss them).
Not having fries — my favorite food — is painful, but dealing with a fryer is worse.
I’ve enlisted my friend Amanda Perdomo, my favorite New York pastry chef, to help with the desserts. I didn’t give her a heads up about this. But she owes me one. So, thanks, Amanda.

See you in Brooklyn or the east side of LA for this first launch. (Still TBD). Stay tuned.
