What the creator captured
Mark Wiens was mesmerized by the rich gravy at Blacklock, which is made from the drippings of meats cooked over charcoal and oak wood. He particularly enjoyed the 55-day aged beef and the way the airy Yorkshire pudding absorbed the bottomless gravy. His ultimate takeaway was the incredible depth of flavor in the meat juices, which he described as legendary.
