 Public is constantly making it new with chef Brad Farmerie (also of The Monday Room) seeking out unique ingredients to create original taste combinations. You won't find chicken or steak here. You will find kangaroo, eel, bone marrow and unusual preparations that combine unexpected neighbors from land and sea---like octopus and pork. Even though Farmerie looks to new horizons, his risk-taking is not for the pure thrill; there's thought behind it. Each dish is an experience, and the intrigue allures. One favorite is the crispy goat cheese polenta with saffron-braised baby vegetables and minted yogurt---tame, but a winner. Wine director Ruben Sanz Ramiro explores broad boundaries with wines from Lebanon and Greece. If the food isn't conversation enough, then certainly you'll find the energy-filled industrial-designed space a piece of work. The weekend brunch fills up quick, so be sure not to show up reservation-less.
