Merchant Roots

Caviar, foie gras, truffles — some of the world’s most coveted ingredients are prestigious, yet the uninitiated often turn a face. When considering the notion of “luxury” and conceiving Merchant Roots’ fall menu, Chef Ryan and his team took a more curious and provocative approach, as in all endeavors.The experience will feature exquisite ingredients and painstakingly sourced items, but it will also challenge your palette with dishes that defy (and perhaps redefine) what luxury truly means. You’ll indulge in some of life’s greatest joys: Iberico ham Monte Carlo with tomato water gelée, saffron funnel cake with spices, yogurt, and crushed pistachios, as well as pumpkin gnocchi with white coffee ricotta, plus stunning courses of venison, chocolate, vanilla, whiskey, and more.Join us for an evening of decadence as we explore some of gastronomy’s most precious ingredients in a 12-course meal that will surprise and delight you with a new meaning of luxury. For this experience, we politely decline dietary restrictions. All protein-based dietary restrictions should defer to one of our vegetarian evenings. We are also providing a gluten-free evening.

On select evenings, Merchant Roots will offer Luxury Ingredients & Acquired Tastes, set to Vivaldi’s Four Seasons.Put simply, we love Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, and they share a premise with Merchant Roots menus — they are presented in 12 movements, each being able to stand on its own, but meant to be part of a greater whole. When Chef Ryan discovered that the combined length of the concertos was just under an hour, he did the only thing he possibly could: code the menu to perfectly accompany Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, resulting in 12 beautifully choreographed courses that coincide with the 12 movements of the composer’s most celebrated piece.How it works: We will welcome our guests, introduce the menu, and serve the meal without stopping or talking for 50 minutes! We’ll allow the synchronization of food and music to reveal their own harmonies, and at the finale we will process the experience together, provide more context, and share anecdotes.Caviar, foie gras, truffles — some of the world’s most coveted ingredients are prestigious, yet the uninitiated often turn a face.
