Not: Sphere-shaped foods

“I think it’s time to see spherification go by the wayside,” says Tom Kiernan, Executive Chef, Eleven Waters at Marriott Syracuse Downtown. “It is now overused in so many ways: from cocktails to desserts, hors d’oeuvres to salads.” Spherification, if you’re curious, is that culinary process that transforms regular food into small sphere shapes. It kind of reminds me of bubble tea, without the tea… and the food isn’t tapioca.
