Plated typically delivers the origin story of a one dish on a restaurant menu, as told by its chef. Todayâs column is actually three plates from Kyle Baileyâs bar menu at Allen & Delancey. The âHappy Nightâ menu is only available on Tuesday nights when all selections from the restaurantâs full cocktail list are served half-off (theyâre normally $12 a pop). In exchange for putting up with a very packed bar, you can also get some quality cheap eats.

On the plate: Truffled Grilled Cheese with Tomato Soup Dip ($9) Kyle Bailey: âIt was fun throwing ideas for these bar snacks around after workâthe irony is that you work 16 hours in a kitchen cooking and you leave starving. I was thinking man, you know what I could go for right now? Grilled cheese! Like a lot of people, I grew up eating grilled plastic-y cheese in grilled cheese sandwiches and Campbell's tomato soup. Here we use Sottocenere al tartufo, a truffled Italian cheese. The idea here is comfort food, but refined. And the soup is basically tomatoes, sherry vinegar, balsamic vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, and saltâit's a long process but it's a tasty, tasty soup.â
