Tete de veau and Andouillette

[bab3033]

Does anyone know of a place in NYC that serves either Tete de veau or Andouillette? I did the food search on menupages and found that L'Absinthe had a tete de veau salad; but was interested in other options

Thanks!

Head cheese, which is easy to find in Manhattan, is essentially a kind of ballotine of pig's or calf's head. As for a real tete de veau, the only alternative I know to L'Absinthe is L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon, where the chef recently put a crispy tete de veau on the entree menu. It will set you back more than forty dollars, but it's unbelievably good.

I have never been able to find andouillette. In fact, I think that was the first question I ever posted on Chowhound. Not in this town, it seems.

Thanks all - -we went to L'Absinthe on Saturday and the tete de veau was divine! Love your blog Wilfrid! Will be saving my pennies for L'Atelier!

No change in the andouillette situation since July?

Try Cafe Napoleon and/or Tout va Bien, both are in the theater district and offer traditional French fare. I've had the TdV at TvB.
