On a sweltering June afternoon he was preparing creamed collards, a sly modulation of the Southern culinary canon that is typical of his style. In his hands a vegetable like collard greens, grown dull by repetition, can appear in an entirely new light, without offending the spirit of the dish.

Last fall he was looking for a vegetable to serve with a T-bone to the kind of customer who orders steak and potatoes out of habit.

"I wanted to stay familiar to the traditions of a steakhouse, but to use the Southern ingredients I had in hand," he said. "Creamed collards was one of those ideas that hit me, like a fried green tomato B.L.T."

My only complaint was that if they need to charge me $30 because they're robbing the duck to pay the boar they might as well give me a more substantial portion of flour, water, and bits of meat.
