"The Wolf’s Tailor is Whitaker’s first solo restaurant project in a while. He’s placed it in Sunnyside, on a quiet, walkable strip with just one other restaurant and a neighborhood coffee shop. He’s built a big gathering place in the form of a garden for eating meat skewers flavored over white charcoal. He’ll offer more complicated bites (see egg custard chawanmushi with Parmesan, corn pulp and dashi) to try at the bar or inside the restaurant. For anyone looking to throw down on a group meal, big, flavorful plates are prepared, like clay-pot cooked acqua pazza with poached red snapper and tomato dashi, or brisket with farro and tomatoes in wagyu tallow. To get a good taste of the Wolf’s Tailor, though, one could just eat all the puffed and charred piada bread with eggplant dip, shaved cheese, and garlic. It carried over from Whitaker’s first, Italian restaurant. And like the pita bread at Denver’s new Safta, it’s worth coming back for." - Josie Sexton
