I take no pleasure in saying that this was a horrendous piece. Small plates were labeled the “next big thing” about 5 years ago, Room 4 Dessert was deemed permanently closed well before this issue went to print, and the offal trend has come, gone, and met only mediocre success. People who like heart will always like heart, people who don’t, don’t. There’s no turning into the next big thing.
