PrintSugar Rush: Minetta Tavern's Souffle for Two
The proper way to close up a meal at Minetta Tavern, post-burger, post-steak, post-bone marrow (not to be missed!) is with the souffle for two. It comes in two flavors: chocolate or Grand Marnier. My companion and I went with the latter, which was nothing short of heavenly with a billowing sugar-dusted surface and an interior all at once warm and cozy. You'll break through many layers in this souffle, starting with a slight surface crunch, then warm airy light body and deep in the center, a near molten, pudding-esque wonder—the luxe creaminess cut by clean, citrusy bites of mandarins.

Oh, yes. I have had this souffle and it was my favorite part of the night, or maybe second favorite, after the amazing veal chop. Delicious.

Thanks for the photo of that souffle; delish. You have me drooling. I'd have big anxiety choosing between the chocolate and Grand Marnier, but in the end, I'd go for the Grand Marnier, even though it might not be real GM. Better yet, I'd go with a friend, each of us ordering a different favor. I was there and had their crepes, fantastic.

I really want to try this next time I'm in the city. Thank you for the tip!
