How well do you know your tapas terms? For awhile it seemed that the small plates scene (Amada, Tinto, Bar Ferdinand) was losing steam. It was simple enough to fumble your way through some mezze and hope that your snack-size pairings would prove filling in the end. With more tapas bars in the making (Garces’ Distrito and Old City’s Privé), you’d do well to bone up on your portion control trivia. Normally, we do not encourage taking online quizzes that your mother forwarded to you because she thinks you’re a budding gourmand, but yo, our mother totally forwarded this. Her score was so poor that we felt inherently responsible and took her to Tria. LOVE YOU MOMS.
