There was an episode on American Horror Story = 'Hotel' -and an obnoxious yuppie came in, called room service, and demanded they send him up an order of grilled romaine. They said they couldn't do that, and being American Horror Story, he was horribly murdered.... And his ghost haunted that hotel room forever more, with the ghost demanding, 'WHERE IS MY GRILLED ROMAINE???' JFC

My mouth was watering over some of those dishes! I think Hispi also works as it keeps it shape better than some other cabbages but I agree, it would be great to see some other cabbage/veg given a 'glow up' :-)

If a cabbage is travelling year round from Portugal, I wonder if it fair for a restaurant to boast it is local or seasonal? Personally, I prefer my vegetables slowly cooked - braised ideally as in Italy or just in a salad.

I can't say for definite that every restaurant is claiming hispi as local or seasonal! Blame the popularity of the grill for all the charred vegetables.
