Trae Basore recently took over the kitchen at Pearl & Ash, replacing Richard Kuo, and with the change comes a new fall menu. The Colicchio & Sons alum is making dishes that are both ambitious and comforting, like squid-ink cavatelli with whipped lardo, egg yolk, and breadcrumbs; crispy head cheese with frisée, cranberries, and mustard; and a bourbon brownie. Plus, the restaurant has refreshed its décor and made the dining room lighter and brighter. Take a look:
