How Would You Like That Cooked?

From lavender-honey chicken to rosemary-flecked pommes frites, we’re fans of anything they cook in Provence.

Which is almost everything on the menu at the new Sel de la Terre — opening adjacent to the Mandarin Oriental for lunch and dinner today — except for one lip-smacking ode to New England: the SDLT burger.

While we’d typically wax rhapsodic about the charcuterie plate, we’d rather give you the goods on what’s going into this hearty, sustainable item.

Everything about this puppy is local. It starts with a homemade roll (baked at the resto’s Au Soleil bakery), which sandwiches a patty of New England-raised ground beef, oozy Vermont cheddar, crispy Big Ox Farm bacon, and Stillman’s Farm tomato.

Said rosemary fries are nestled alongside the sandwich, making it just about the finest plate to come out of Provence.

By way of Boston.
