The new Pulpo Puppies are inspired by Japanese takoyaki.
A while back, Ford said they had a young boy, around the age of 7, come into the restaurant wanting shrimp. The parents asked if the restaurant could serve him some, whether it was boiled or in a shrimp cocktail.
While this seemed like an interesting comfort dish to serve, he didn’t want to add hush puppies to the menu based on just one interaction. Ford thought to himself, “I need to make something out of this. I need to find an elevated way to use it,” he said.Later, during a food discussion with colleagues, someone mentioned takoyaki, which is a fried Japanese octopus ball made with a wheat-based flour.
In his kitchen, there were a few cooks who were hesitant, but others contributed by calling the dish pulpo puppies. The name has officially stuck.“I kinda resisted [the name] at first, but you kind of have to embrace if it’s taking its own character,” Ford said with a chuckle.
