Pure Berlin

Pure Berlin is the brainchild of Sebastian Wussler and Miles Watson. Gastronomic collaborations, consulting, instruction and occasional restaurant. Rediscovering and re interpreting German cuisine, and then some. Caught them on their current wold tour that has been hitting various restaurants and doing collaborations. Attended the first of two nights at Atelier Crenn in San Francisco.
Dishes had:
–Oyster Magerita, Algin Granite, Lime
–Salmon Bagel — Smoked salmon ice cream, cream cheese, black sesame gelee, dehydrated bread
–Forelle Blau — Smoked trout, roe, vinegar gelee
–Steak Fries — Beef tenderloin, potato, cheese foam, braised onion, finely ground pepper
–Pavalova/​Baiser — Berry ice cream, meringue powder, mint purée
It’s interested to see dishes steeped in tradition but reimagined in a modern way. Now I could read about them all I want but I dont have the cultural food reference for these dishes. I do know however that they were delicious and artfully presented. Germany is one of the destinations on my list where cuisine, automobiles, drinking and other parts of the culture I have so much to learn about. Not only the historical but mow I have all the modern things to look forward to also. This cooking is just the tip of the iceberg of things I need to discover.
