After turning up recently on menus at Amis and Adsum, we’re beginning to think that pigtails are, like, a thing now. With his menu updates for spring, Matyson’s Ben Puchowitz is latest local chef to chase the tail. The crispy-fried curlicues are plated with grilled corn salsa and pineapple glaze. Other highlights from the new menu include a spicy cucumber salad with chickpeas, feta, mint, cilantro and pickled chilies, Maine lobster and potato gnocchi with English peas, baby carrots, creme fraiche and whipped ricotta, and Ancho rubbed duck breast with duck tamale, goat cheese, corn, maitake and fig mole. See below for the entire menu.
