Last week, Compass Rose hit a big milestone. The restaurant served up its 10,000th order of khachapuri, a classic Georgian street food that has been a must-try since the restaurant first opened a little more than a year ago.
The dish might steal the show, but just wait, says owner Rose Previte. She's working with a new chef, Sam Molavi (previously from Ripple) to add new favorites to the menu. There will be fried plantains (Cuban tostanoes) and crispy fried octopus fritters (Japanese takoyaki). Call it intuition, or just a hunch, but Previte says she's expecting big demand for the khinkali, a Georgian-style meat dumpling. Expect the new dish on the menu by May 26, Georgia's Independence Day.
