What I'm Eating: The NoMad's Chicken Pot Pie (New York)

The holy grail at the NoMad Bar: their heavenly chicken pot pie with fois gras and black truffles. A little skewer of additional fois arrives with a sprinkling of chives and more black truffles. The waiter bursts opens the pastry crust and gently adds the extra fois, a theatrical touch, and stirs, the steam cascading out of the achingly hot pie. The aroma of black truffles was intoxicating; the dish was transcendent and the most luxurious chicken pot pie ever to exist anywhere.
