Firstborn

TIFFANY’S TAKE

Firstborn is doing some pretty special things with modern Chinese food. The cooking is so inventive it even got me to willingly eat sweetbreads, which is saying something. I’m usually too busy trying new restaurants to revisit places, but Firstborn is one of the exceptions. I went back for their new prix fixe format and honestly, it’s a ridiculously good deal for food this interesting.
