BRIAN'S 100 Best '17

100 BEST ’17: BAKED CLAMS at DOMINICK’S

I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2017…

Those that have been to the iconic Dominick’s on Arthur Avenue know there is no menu. The surly waiters come over and ask what you want. Not everything is available every day, but you should hope for the baked clams which have browned crisp bread crumbs and a pool of lemon butter and herbs. It tastes like Little Italy.
