David Ansill Debuts A New Fall Menu at Bar Ferdinand

Just in time for the change in the weather, chef David Ansill and his crew at Bar Ferdinand have given the menu a seasonal overhaul. As always, this is Ansill’s version of a Spanish tapas board–he didn’t suddenly decide to turn it into a sushi restaurant or anything–but between the confit duck leg with duck hearts and fingerling potatoes, the Marguez sausage stuffed piquillo peppers and the seared tuna with foie gras and red wine, we’re talking about something a bit more over-the-top than your standard lineup of croquettas and patatas bravas.

Except, of course, that he has those on the menu, too–the former with charred scallions and romesco, the latter with shishito peppers and a spicy tomato sauce.

Check out the full menu after the jump.
