For clarification on this, that's supposed to be rabbit poop leading up to the 'rabbit'.

For this round I prepared PB&J with apple, potato chips, and bumps on a log.

However, nothing is exactly what it seems… except for the apple, which is just an apple.

The “peanut butter” is homemade cashew butter, with tahini and coarse sea salt. The jelly is homemade blackberry jam, seasoned with a sort of Middle Eastern spice blend (call it a makeshift Baharat). The bread is a locally made boule, buttered and fried, with the crust cut off.

The “bumps on a log” are whisky macerated raisins on baby spinach leaves. The potato chips are freshly made kettle chips tossed in shichimi and topped with freshly cracked sansho pepper.

It’s sort of a conceptual piece. You are the apple bunny rabbit in the center (it was supposed to have carrot stick legs, so go Hook and use your imagination), and you can go in three different directions.

Behind it is bunny poop on lily pads, which she can wrap up and eat in single bites.

The trail on her left leads to the chips. If you’ve never had decent sansho pepper, it’s sort of like putting a 9 volt battery to your tongue, and always reminded me of going to the children’s science museum growing up, which was the idea behind using it.

The trail on the right leads to the grilled cashew butter and blackberry jam sandwich, with some seemingly out of place flavors added. It’s served on a bed of fresh arugula, which is there to catch any of the hot fillings that might ooze out, and add a peppery bite.

The idea is to have fun with it, while still enjoying grown up flavors.
