Loading ...Picture If You Will…
Posted by Foobooz on July 15th, 2009
Adam Erace asks the reader to picture a meal at the Venezuelan Sazon on the ragged corner of 10th and Spring Garden. A meal that shines with pride.
Just picture the soft Champion sweatpants hanging in your closet at home, because that’s what you should’ve worn to Sazon. Picture the portions, generous for such little coin, and how full you are by the time the gargantuan asado negro arrives. But picture the fork, and you lifting it anyway, slicing through the tender steak’s black jacket of caramelized garlic and unrefined brown cane sugar, and savoring.

i love that sazon is getting good press…great place, great couple who run it, great food (and the venezuelan breakfast is one of the best hidden brunch options in the city for me…except the one time it came out cold. still good, just not great). but i don’t feel like i learned anything about the food in the review, and it felt a little exoticized instead of an ode to sazon’s authenticity and homestyle flavors, it sounded off to me. Less of the picturing, more of the best dishes to order (or avoid)!

I’ve always wanted to try this place. Now I will.
I haven’t had Venezuelan since 2002 at Flor’s Kitchen.
Time to change that.

I’ve been a few times and everything is pretty good, just a little on the greasy side.

What I got out of the review is that the hostess sounds hot.

Nice to see the good and well deserved press. No need to speak a whole a lot about the food. Its very authentic and very good.
