Plated typically delivers the origin story of a one dish on a restaurant menu, as told by its chef. Today’s column is actually three plates from Kyle Bailey’s bar menu at Allen & Delancey. The “Happy Night” menu is only available on Tuesday nights when all selections from the restaurant’s full cocktail list are served half-off (they’re normally $12 a pop). In exchange for putting up with a very packed bar, you can also get some quality cheap eats.
On the plate: Truffled Grilled Cheese with Tomato Soup Dip ($9) Kyle Bailey: “It was fun throwing ideas for these bar snacks around after work—the irony is that you work 16 hours in a kitchen cooking and you leave starving. I was thinking man, you know what I could go for right now? Grilled cheese! Like a lot of people, I grew up eating grilled plastic-y cheese in grilled cheese sandwiches and Campbell's tomato soup. Here we use Sottocenere al tartufo, a truffled Italian cheese. The idea here is comfort food, but refined. And the soup is basically tomatoes, sherry vinegar, balsamic vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, and salt—it's a long process but it's a tasty, tasty soup.” (Tejal Rao)

I HATE those over-priced stupid child-sized portions!
I could eat any of the three selections in two gulps. Food isn't a fashion show.

Agreed. Even though they're all seemingly quality snacks, they should all dance around the four to seven dollar mark and not above or below that.
Those sweet breads do look good but they also remind me of the ones made at Sorella's down the block.
what the? chicken livers for $10?????
the kid's menu at ikea is .99, I just had it.
5 meatballs and a small bowl of fries.
Since when did Ikea's cafeteria become a benchmark for food cost and/or quality? It's a giant chain, obviously they can sell cheap snacks.
What Ikea doesn't have, and this is why some people might be happy to pay ten dollars for cheap ingredients like chicken livers at a real restaurant: a chef in the kitchen who knows how to make a really good pate, a real dining room (not a cafeteria full of crying children and fluorescent lighting), and two for one cocktails.
Oh please, there are some restaurants still left in NYC which serve full pasta dishes which cost the same as this "Happy Night" menu ...
