La Strega

Chef Gina Marinelli is dedicated to eliminating waste. So she repurposes, seasons and juliennes the “leftover bits” of tomatoes from other dishes on her menu to turn them into a paste that’s baked into bread/crostinis. (Complimentary with meals.)

The Palms steakhouse takes a large beefsteak tomato, slices it thick, loads it up with a mixture of creamed spinach and bread crumbs, and tops it with American cheese. The chef then bakes the dish in the oven before serving it, $12.
