Week in Reviews

Gretchen Kurtz, Westword's restaurant critic, wrote an effortless review of the Squeaky Bean this week. In clean and unpretentious terms, Kurtz conveyed her obsession with Max MacKissock's red kuri squash and fascination with the chef's transformative touch for all seasonal vegetables. The critic found that certain dishes, like the fried chicken ballontine and fluffer nutter, left to be desired, but ultimately liked the Bean enough to publicly demand a cookbook compiling executive chef Max MacKissock's recipes.
