Thrillist Miami
Thursday January 7, 2010
Luuur One-Table Restaurant
Dine in a chef's home
Undisclosed location, Miami; 786.285.1788
Inviting the public into your home is an act of great
generosity and trust, but it's risky: you could end up
having to deal with a pack of Hare Krishna, or worse, your
parents. For a chef who welcomes you into his despite your
bald-with-rattail-ness , call Luuur.
From exuberant chef Alan Hughes, who started cheffing at 18
in Argentina, worked through Spain, and eventually hit
Miami's much-loved 190, Luuur's a one-table, four-course
restaurant serving lunch and dinner inside the gracious
fellow's home; most consumption's handled in the backyard,
with a slightly unkempt bohemian dining area under a wooden
canopy dangling a candle-covered chandelier, filled with
rustic wood furniture (when it's nippy out, Alan hauls the
table inside to his living room, where he keeps the computer
with the sticky "U" button). The French/Spanish-influenced
menu changes monthly, and is really more of a guide (you can
alter it when setting up your appointment); January's
includes roasted garlic custard w/ almond relish, duck leg
confit simmered in fat and herbs for six hours w/ crispy
potato pancakes & starfruit chutney (his buddy has a tree),
a pan-roasted corvina (big cousin of our sea trout) with
fennel, smoked tomatoes, and celery root puree, and finally
a molten chocolate cake w/ malt anglaise (pourable custard),
featuring the slight nuttiness you enjoyed in the malted
milkshakes you drank when your own nuts were slight. Since
there're no parents it's all BYOB, and for this month's
offerings Alan suggests a light, crisp Spanish Albariño to
go with the garlic custard, a Pinot Noir of your choice for
the duck and fish, and for the dessert, a tawny port --
after all that imbibing you might need a cab, and following
that, a taxi home.
Alan also has a series of large private dinners that you can
sign up for, or he can cater/teach at your house; you buy
the food and he shows up and cooks for the party, learning
you good on techniques along the way -- you can always repay
him with a tiny flower, and enlightenment.
Dinner's only 50 bones a man. Hit Chef Alan up at
