E-mail to a friendLast week we received the press release about Joe DeVito, Adriana Carrasco, and Homaro Cantu's new restaurant Otom, the "moderately priced," baby brother to Moto, due to open in July. It said:
“While the name otom is a mirror image of moto, the food is not going to feature edible menus or liquid nitrogen,” says DeVito. “No matter where you sit in the restaurant at the bar or in the main dining room there are no rules. You get what you want!”
I know. What in the wide world of Wylie Dufresne does that mean? Well, the publicist was kind enough to forward the menu, electronically, not lasered onto a tortilla or anything. So here it is.
