Best Thing to Ever Happen to an Asian Pear

She's Not Here

You'd think, with all the great sushi and tropical fare the joint serves up, that what's mostly used as a garnish – dark amber slices of pickled Asian pear – would go unnoticed at Downtown's She's Not Here. But whatever miracles of fermentation chef Ben Schwartz and his crew visit upon that fruit has turned it into morsels of exquisitely sweet and tangy godflesh via which we seek foodie apotheosis again and again. And again.
