Om Nomz Hero Note to Self: Why use illegal mind-altering substances when eating at WD is mind blowing enough?
Headed by Wylie Dufresne, WD~50 stands out against other establishments because of their innovative, playful food that combine contemporary and classic techniques. See what I did there? I was able to describe WD without using that phrase: molecular gastronomy. Like someone that knows a lot more about food and smarter than me most likely, said that those that make food and cuisine that they dub as being molecular gastronomy are doing it poorly and doing it for the shits and giggles and the food here, is executed with precision that to just coolly call it molecular gastronomy is like calling sushi raw fish. The food at WD is creative and has a casual atmosphere but has a service and quality of food and execution that up to par with its Michelin rating.

| Sesame Flatbread |
WD has one of the best bargained tasting menus in the city which I decided to take full advantage of and being my first visit here, I added on the Eggs Benny dish that is one of the notable dishes that I needed to try. The aerated sesame flatbread was unbelievably light and crisp that I would find myself chomping on through the meal. The closest comparison texturally is like a potato chip and for some reason, I had a strong white trash urge while eating these to ask if they had any jalapeno and cheese from the MRE packs (this of course is a outlandish idea, because anyone that has eaten a MRE knows, that you never, ever get the cheese wiz, stupid peanut butter). Tasting menu after the Jump!
