100 BEST ’18: BREAD AND BUTTER at AGERN

I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2018…

You know it has to be good if a complimentary plate of bread and butter stands out from the crowd. This dense and chewy mound of barley and sourdough carbs is impossible to stop eating. At Agern in Grand Central Terminal, it’s served warm with a crackly crust and a soft doughy interior that feels nourishing and guiltless. The whipped butter ensures complete decadence (and satisfaction). Free with Meal.
