Traif - Williamsburg
229 S. 4th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211
In getting to the restaurant, my friend and I had gotten delayed by a complicated bus transfer that landed us--lost--in the middle of the most Orthodox Jewish part of Brooklyn. We somehow didn't feel it was appropriate to go up to anyone and ask "Do you know where we can find the restaurant, Traif?"
Traif, the Yiddish word for food that does not conform to the Jewish dietary laws of kashrut, designed its menu off all the most succulent "forbidden" foods. Dinner started off right with an amuse bouche of warm bacon broth. Every plate thereafter seemed to outstrip the former. A tapas restaurant, the waitress highly recommended we order eight dishes among the three of us, but we found that seven was plenty.
The strawberry-cinnamon glazed Berkshire baby back ribs--meat that falls off the bone slathered in a smoky sweet sauce--were my personal favorite. However, fresh mozzarella and beets were elegantly simple.

For dessert, try the round doughnut puffs. They're covered in candied bacon.
