The MCA’s New Menu

The MCA will launch a new restaurant in May 2016 as part of their master plan to create a more accessible museum. For the last edition of the Lazy Foodie, I have decided to turn this rude and sarcastic culinary column into a good deed, and give the MCA and its future chef a much needed helping hand.

This menu, personally crafted by myself, includes some of the rarest and most expensive ingredients. It creates an unforgettable culinary experience for those who think vanguard happens on the plate too.

Calder Clam Chowder – $18
Served with a clam shells mobile structure to contemplate from every angle. Sprinkled with micro-greens.
Arugulabramovic – $28
