Dining room at Telepan, New York, NYChef Bill Telepan, who famously manned the stoves at JUdson Grill and authored a book called Inspired by Ingredients, has gone from big and bustling to intimate with his eponymous Upper West Side eatery. The dining room, minimalist and low lit, seems befitting of Telepan's philosophy: the underwhelming and refreshingly un-exotic menu might seem sleep-inducing at first. But once the house-smoked brook trout or the coddled eggs smothered in an unlikely sweet pork sauce goes from the plate to the palate, your taste buds will dance. The lobster bolognese, about as exotic as wild Bill gets, and the simple, juicy “pork four ways” are menu standouts. The emphasis here is on superior and fresh ingredients; would we expect anything else from the guy who wrote the book on it?
