Cardoon Karma

An important cardoon update from faithful CultureGrrl reader Rob Krulak, a development officer at the Brooklyn Museum:
Cardoons are on the menu almost every fall (including this one) at Otto Enoteca/Pizzeria on East 8th St. They taste kind of like artichokes, but crunch kind of like celery—in case you want to round out your Cotán experience.
Sounds like a perfect birthday-weekend culinary adventure. Do I have to order them on pizza?
