Tostones
Twice-fried green plantains with crisp edges and a tender center.
Context
Tostones matters because it gives guests a clearer way to read a menu: not only what is being served, but what kind of technique, texture, memory, or hospitality decision is behind it.
Example
They are served as snacks, sides, bases for toppings, or shared table bites.
How THT uses it
THT can transform tostones into a refined welcome bite while keeping their Dominican familiarity.
