The one Ms. Blamey has provided is like an erotic poem on the theme of fat. Ms. Blamey based it on an abalone dish from Chile, where she grew up, and it gets its kick from fresh ají dulce peppers along with ground Aleppo pepper.

Chumley’s is emphatically worth going to as long as Ms. Blamey remains content to work in that kitchen.
