The owners of Cookshop and Five Points have set up new digs on MacDougal Street. Their latest restaurant, Hundred Acres, has a rustic, country feel and offers simple yet sophisticated cooking á la Marc Meyer and Cookshop chef Joel Hough. Don't count on a big menu: the daily choices are limited to seven main dishes and one special entrée. The steamed littleneck clams appetizer served with garlic-oregano butter, pickled corn, cilantro, and garlic toasts is particularly delicious. For the mains, try the seared Wreckfish with bicolored corn, lima beans, and pearl onion succotash, or the grilled Hampshire pork chop with smoky mustard greens and spicy peach catsup. The classic burger made from pasture-raised beef, topped with Goot Essa cheddar and served with fries and Vidalia onion mayonnaise, should not to be missed.
