Circa 1886

Category: Review needed!

"The best meal I had was at Circa 1886, a restaurant in the renovated carriage house of the Wentworth Hotel.... Then I had boiled peanut soup. I had encountered boiled peanuts a few nights earlier at Hyman's, a restaurant, the taxi driver who brought me into town explained, "started by a Jew-man and continued by his family." You apparently soak peanuts in brine then boil them for several hours -- they're incredibly tasty. This peanut soup had a pungent texture, which Collins contrasted with a mound of celery foam. Again the combination was dazzling."
