RESTAURANT REVIEW
With a menu filled with dishes titled Snowman sashimi, Italian Biosphere, Kentucky Fried Pasta, Philly Monte Cristo and Acme bombs, not to mention the infamous menu printed in an inkjet printer on edible paper, Homero Cantu’s restaurant offers the most cutting edge dining experience in the country. Of course when a chef pushes the envelope to this extent, the experience isn’t for everyone and we suggest that the fainthearted think twice before going. But if you’re the type who likes a bit of theater with your meal, you should follow the advice of reviewers who say things like, "the food was so interesting that I preferred it to restaurants where the food tasted better" and, “perfect for those who want to be philosophical about what they eat.”
Cauliflower panna cotta, carrot, celery, broccoli, ranch flavored puff pasta
