Kabawa is one of the hottest tickets in town. Paul Carmichael's Caribbean affair has already earned adoring fans in its first year of business, earning a five-star review from us and the title of the best restaurant in the entire country by Food & Wine. Given those stats, securing a table can be a bit of a challenge, unless you don't mind dining at 10pm. Thankfully, there's also next door's Bar Kabawa, which gives us good reason to visit—particularly to sip on nitro daiquiris and sink your teeth into glossy patties. And now Carmichael has teamed up with a handful of chef pals for a patty collab, sweetening the deal even further.
Bar Kabawa is hosting Patties & Pals, a monthly series where several culinary titans in NYC are taking a spin on one of the most iconic dishes of the Caribbean, the humble patty. Bringing its old-school Italian sensibilities to the medium, Nolita's Torrisi is kicking off the series on May 19, starting strong with the Jamaican beef ragu patty. Later in the summer, Fort Greene's Strange Delight will bring a NOLA-inflected spin on the dish, serving up the Creole daube with Kyoto carrots and hakurei turnips.
The series extends all the way to the fall. Keep in mind that you can catch these specialty patties for only one week. So do as Carmichael says and come on by to "Fill Yuh Belly."
