Tapa is a short word for a small dish that packs a ton of flavor. Vantage’s menu is full of small plates, but it’s the spicy Spanish-inspired chorizo chicken that we consider a true tapa. Chef Calvin Davis seasons the chicken with dried chorizo and cooks it sous vide to ensure maximum tenderness. But here’s the real kicker: He finishes it all off with some time in the oven to crisp the skin. It also comes with a side of patatas bravas, crispy potatoes paired with garlic aioli.
