Cheese smoked by the city air

“During the week when the city was covered by the smoke from the intencional farms’ burning, I made a cheese in that environment and, with the help of a fan, I smoked it with that air”, reveails Favio La Vitola, chef and owner -along with his wife Mariana De Rosa, also a cook- of Sifones & Dragones, a small place located in over the bridge that links Soler and Ciudad de la Paz streets, in Palermo.
Opened six years ago, “this kitchen with tables”, as La Vitola defines it, offers unique experiences to the customers, beyond food.
In an ambiance decorated in a style that oscillates from beatnik to kitsch, where the kitchen seen from the salon cohabitates with posters from the 60s’ and old bottles and jars, the surprise is part of the menu, which by the way comes in the shape of a letter, in an stamped envelope. “Like in a porteños’ Amarcord”, points the chef, who has even sold “invisible dishes” to customers encouraged for a delirium and decided to play for a while.
These days, then, the game consists on tasting this soft cheese with a marked taste that clearly reminds those grey and smoked days porteños will not easily forget, baptized by La Vitola as “Bad Airs Cheese”. A product that -according to his own words-, “was thought not much as tasty but as testimonial, a way to share a bad memory”.
The cheese can be tasted at Sifones & Dragones restaurant, Ciudad de la Paz 174, Palermo. Cell Phone: 154 413 9871. Web. Tue-Sat, only for dinner. |
