Chef Eddie Huang Replants Roots in NY at the Flower Shop | Eater NY

"A nearly decade-old neighborhood hangout for fashion, art, and music types on the Lower East Side is getting a reboot as Eddie Huang takes over the kitchen, bringing an eclectic, bar-food-driven lineup that debuts Tuesday, November 11, with service from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. across the ground floor and reservations on Resy. After a summertime residency inside the pub at 107 Eldridge Street testing a modern Chinese menu tied to his forthcoming Gazebo project, he returns to cook the bar dishes his way: coconut shrimp that nods to his Florida roots; a fried fish sandwich inspired by his dad’s Coco’s Floribbean Grill; a yinz-style mortadella sandwich recalling Primanti’s; New England steak tips from recipes learned from his Greek in-laws; an onion biały tuna melt influenced by Kossar’s; and a spinach dip that swaps artichokes for pickled mustard greens with his proprietary chile oil. The spot previously served a straightforward lineup of maitake rigatoni, shrimp tacos, and pan-roasted cauliflower steak." - Tierney Plumb
