No, it's not a bad cake decoration.
Like cupcakes, macaroons are wasted on me. However, this one in particular converted two of my prejudices.
I now admit tomatoes are a fruit - and macaroons can be a menu asset.
Bordering sweet and laced with tartness and acidity, this tomato-shelled sweet with tomato jam filling is crisp, moist and not at all sugary and chewy. It embraces the tomato's umami quality and harnesses the macaroon's textural strengths.
The savories on this menu are also of the freshest pick in the garden. Like its tomato dessert, chef Kevin Hickey's menu utilizes seasonal ingredients and home-style cooking techniques. A dressed up place with a no-attitude menu.
