Eve: "A selfish bean bowl or a share plate. Just dip and roll the frisée like a taco with all the beans inside. I'd serve this at a big table, in a big bowl where everyone can make their own, eat with their hands and talk about the future and the past. We would play records and drink proscecco. @boldbeanco sent me some beans to try, it was really hard not to consume these plain as these are THAT GOOD! Showcasing the bean here. Wouldn’t dare to blend these beauties."
