"Superb Gazpacho MC Slim JB visits La Bodega by Salts in Watertown for his latest Improper Bostonian review. The menu features what Slim calls 'elemental tapas,' in the style of Spanish and French-Basque cooking, with a touch of Uruguay. 'It’s an inviting, intimate setting for grazing,' Slim writes, calling out the pan con tomate for its status as a 'crazy-simple' and 'crazy-good' item. He also calls the kale salad delectable and recommends the grilled provolone, which comes 'generously dusted with oregano.' The white gazpacho is 'superb,' while the Maine oysters get a subtle smokiness from the charcoal grill. Finally, the wild mushroom escabeche 'wows with clever embellishments,' like baby artichoke nuggets and a 'tenderly poached farm egg.' Overall, Slim writes, the restaurant is 'a very sweet place' to be." - Dana Hatic
