What is koji, and why is everyone talking about it? Three Monday nights this season, we’ll show you. The Preservation and Fermentation Series is about time, patience, and what a farm, a lab, and a kitchen can do with both. November 23rd, doors at 6:00, seated at 6:30. $275 per person, beverage pairings included. https://www.exploretock.com/one-by-spork-pittsburgh

Garum has been around since ancient Rome. It started as fermented fish, and today kitchens make it from chicken and just about any protein you can think of.

We went with egg whites.

Paired with koji and mushroom trimmings, it starts with a three-day cycle in our OCOO pressure steamer, then rests another month with clarified shio koji. The result is a garum so clean you’d never guess where it came from, and it quietly shows up in our soups, sauces, and marinades.

Some of the best work in our kitchen is the stuff you’ll never see.

An Evening with St. George Spirits

For one night, the pairing at our chef's counter turns to California.
Lance Winters, master distiller of St. George Spirits, joins us at the counter to pour and talk through the spirits he makes in Alameda. Each one appears in a cocktail created for this menu and served only this evening.
The format is the one our guests know: welcome bites, ten courses from Chef Christian Frangiadis, and a pairing that alternates between cocktail and w**e. The w**es are Californian, chosen from small producers.

Eighteen seats. One seating.
$275 per person, inclusive of pairings.

Every harvest starts an experiment.

We pulled 250 pounds out of the garden this month, and that's where the real work begins. Fermenting, tasting, adjusting, tasting again. Some of it will end up as vinaigrettes. Some of it, we won't fully know what it is until it's ready.

That's the part we love. The garden hands us the ingredient. Time and curiosity decide what it becomes.

Saturday has sold out, so we added another night. On Friday, October 30th, One By Spork becomes a darker version of itself. Precise, quiet, and a little too beautiful, with special pairings, cinematic service, and a s'mores finale worth surviving. Eighteen seats. Link in bio.

Koji milk chocolate. Cocoa nibs braised and inoculated with koji, grown for two days, freeze dried, then ground for fourteen hours at 115°F. The time and heat build flavor on their own. Less sweet than the sugar would suggest, with hints of dates and umami.

Before the first course, there's this. A few small bites, meant to slow you down before the night really starts. Nothing rushed. Nothing filling. Just enough to shift you out of the day and into the table. By the time the real courses arrive, you're already somewhere else.
