At a fav NYC restaurant, Yakitori Toto, here is one of the meals I crave in the summer.

Plus a few charred skewers of chicken oysters too.
Lucinda’s favorite way to eat Thanksgiving dinner is the next day, layered into a pie. Her rule for the feast, and how to build the one the kids called Danksgiving Pie.
