Yeah. It stayed open for just a couple of weeks -- just long enough for us to get a couple of takeout burgers. When COVID went south again, Brooks shut it down (all the restaurants, I think) and is focusing on Veritas right now. We are getting some good wine delivered from there, along with some meat. This week we getting some yellowtail collars he imported from Japan and grill them over smoke. The fish will be delivered with our wine. His description:
Premium Crown Toro HAMACHI KAMA processed in Uwijima, Japan using ikejime. This technique prevents lactic acid buildup in the flesh of the fish when processed, resulting in the highest quality of fish possible. These yellowtail collars are the fattiest, juiciest part of the fish (same applies for the collar of any fish, but yellowtail, salmon, and tuna collars are especially delicious), and are simply sublime when grilled over wood.Beginning on Tuesday, Veritas Wine Room will be selling these beauties in 2.2 pound packs for $40 ($18.18 per pound)!! It is hard for us to adequately express how good these are - we are simply not aware of a better piece of grilled fish than Hamachi Kama.
