Toro Tuna Tartare with Shitake Mushrooms and Peppercress in a Truffle Soy Sauce

The Panhandler’s Daughter hosts Jeremy Marshall as he prepares Toro Tuna Tartare with Shitake Mushrooms and Peppercress in a Truffle Soy Sauce. Shortly after opening in 1996, Aquagrill quickly became our favorite oyster bar, the place we would congregate for our weekly Sunday family dinner.
