A monthly selection from our kitchen to your table.
At Slowly, we believe every dish tells a story. But once a month, we offer a glimpse into the mind of our chef—through a plate and a pairing she personally selects.
This month’s feature is rooted in warmth, memory, and quiet power. A dish built on depth. A cocktail that walks beside it.
Slowly Mole-y Mushrooms
Roasted maitake mushrooms are crisped to perfection and bathed in a rich, house-made mole—a sauce layered with spice, depth, and ancestral soul. Nestled beneath are crispy potatoes, golden and grounding. A finishing touch of verdolagas—a wild Mexican green—adds a note of brightness and unexpected lift.
“It’s humble ingredients made with precision,” the chef tells us.
“The mushrooms soak up the mole. The potatoes carry the crunch. It’s quiet, but powerful.”
This is not a loud dish—it’s one that reveals itself slowly, just as it should.
Paired With: Whispering Ember’s Old Fashioned
Bulleit Rye · Cherry Bitters · Angostura Bitters · Luxardo Cherry · Smoked Tableside
Warm, aromatic, and elegant in its restraint—the Whispering Ember’s Old Fashioned complements the mushrooms’ roasted depth and the mole’s layered spice. The tableside smoke invites you in, while the rye and bitters echo the earthy sweetness of the dish.
It’s not merely a pairing—it’s a quiet dialogue between fire and flavor.
Available nightly at Slowly.
Ask your server for this month’s Chef’s Table Selection, or simply let the scent of smoke and mole guide you.
Because some meals aren’t about indulgence.
They’re about intention.
