Oxtail at Double Zero

Hesitation precedes the first taste. This pretty little nest is visually stunning. The meat within is impossibly tender after a long, slow braise over creamy pureed celery root. Tart supremes of grapefruit cut the richness, frisee adds a touch of bitterness, and swirls of crunchy filo envelop the beefy succulence. Yellow orbs of cured egg yolk further the depths of flavor with an umami hit of richness. Almost too pretty to eat. Almost. $13.
