The Best Dishes Eater Boston’s Editor Ate This Month | Eater Boston

"Chef Erin Miller has been doing a dead-of-winter pop-up dinner for the past couple of years where everything on the plate is sourced from within 100 miles. This year she partnered with Mahaniyom and Merai chef Thanaphon "Song" Authaiphan; both chefs are James Beard Award semifinalists this year. Tickets went so fast the event was stretched into two nights. Highlights included "Song’s bites of candied chicken skin!" and "the last of Erin’s sweet corn ice cream from the freezer!" The most surprising standout were lamb skewers marinated in a sweet potato miso, served with pickled vegetables and herbs alongside spoonfuls of a pawpaw sambal and a zingy chili jam. "It took a lot of pre-planning in warmer months to have the ingredients available in February to pull this off, I’m sure," but it was a welcome reminder of the region’s nearby riches." - Erika Adams
