Just got back from dinner at WD~50. Located in the Lower East Side of NY, hands down it was the best meal I have ever had. Actually, to call it dinner or even just a meal doesn't even do it justice. As cheesy as it sounds, it was really a culinary adventure. And as our server aptly noted, the food is intellectual. Boy was she right. Incredibly challenging dishes which just blow you away in their combination of interesting ingredients and presentation. Wylie Dufresne - head chef/owner - is pure genius. Trio, located in the Chicago area, is probably the closest I can think of for comparison purposes.

Pretty tired right now - a 3 hour meal will do that to you! Will post the full menu tomorrow.
