Brought to U by award-winning chef Abe Conlon, the globally-inspired concept is popping up inside Chefs Club for two months.
Highlighting global cuisine through a Portuguese lens, Fat Rice brings together flavors from Brazil, Angola, Mozambique, India, China, and of course, Portugal. The result is a menu that is unquestionably diverse.
Featuring a selection of home-style comfort food dishes, including curried pork dumplings, Hai-pa-sinku (steamed king crab with egg custard and wok-seared wild mushrooms), and lobster with lemon and chilli butter. And honoring the restaurant’s name, there’s the Macau-style eight treasure chicken, a whole bird stuffed with fat rice: sticky rice, Chinese bacon, sausage, and dried scallops.
There’s a bar menu with cocktails and the Chefs Club’s private dining room is being turned into The Ladies’ Room for the two month residence of Fat Rice, a speakeasy cocktail bar serving herbaceous drinks with house made spirits.
Fat Rice has long made waves in Chicago but now it’s having its moment in NYC.
