Bone Marrow Poppers

I found this interesting photo and food item on GOTHAMIST.COM. From GOTHAMIST quote-

"On the plate: Bone Marrow Poppers, pastry shell, greens, Bordelaise. $12 ".
Chef Julia Jaksic, of Employees Only says: “I love bone marrow. My dad’s a butcher, so I grew up with meat and a lot of meat-related things. When I first started here at Employees Only the owners were like, look, we want heavy food because we make strong drinks. And my approach to food is a certain way already—I come from an Eastern European background, so that influence is on my menu. Read the whole story at GOTHAMIST.COM here...
