Ivana Raca runs Resto Boemo inside Assembly Chef's Hall in Toronto. On the menu, in writing, is a dish called The Boho Truffle Gnoc — The Gnocchi that Beat Bobby Flay. The flex is on the printed menu. The receipts are framed by the kitchen.
Gnocchi is the second gnocchi defeat in this batch and the third Italian dumpling on the list. The pattern repeats because the dish punishes shortcuts and rewards exactly the kind of patience that doesn't read well on television. Raca's were pillowy. Truffled. Cooked exactly to the moment the dumplings floated.
Bobby cooked his to a moment earlier than that.
