PhilaFoodie reviews Zot’s recent “Flintstones dinner” of exotic meats. A meal where the menu read more like roll call at a zoo than the meat list at your butcher.
Zot appears to have been torn between and constructing dishes that would allow the flavors of these exotic meats to roam wild and constructing dishes that would stand on their own. At a minimum, the dinner’s theme called for the former. Zot chose the latter. But the truth is that the two are not mutually exclusive.
