Babbo, Waverly Place, just West of Washington Square

A Monday night dinner at 6:15 p.m.? Does this qualify for a Meal of My Life? If it's Babbo, it sure does!

Dinner with my oldest friend Mike Kelly and the opportunity to introduce him to the world of innards and offals, prepared by the King of Innards and Offals!

Mike used to limit his culinary adventures to that of trying a new cereal.   Well, things have changed.  We shared the following awesome Mario Batali creations:

House-cured salumi platter

bullet

Braised Headcheese

bullet

Calves' Brain Ravioli in a lemon, thyme and butter sauce

bullet

Beef Cheek Ravioli in a squab liver sauce with black truffles

bullet

Goose Liver Ravioli in a brown butter/balsamic reduction

bullet

"Living" gorgonzola cheese plate (so much mold it crawled across the plate)

A great night.  We tried three different wines, all expertly suggested by the super-friendly waiter.

A Meal of My Life!

Important note: At a later visit to Babbo, I tried the Warm Lamb's Tongue Salad...unreal!
