    Compass

    in New York: Dining

    Posted

    Last I checked Chef Andelbradt was on the website, but there's been little new information regarding Compass and its 'new direction'.

    Heard a rumor, curious as to how it was playing out.

    Thanks for your response-the only one!

    Cheers-

    Wasabi Root at Mitsuwa

    [Good to hear fresh wasabi is making it's way in to markets. This is hopefully just the beginning.

    How much did you have to fork out for it?]Quote

    Tru in Chicago has been using Fresh Wasabi Root-grated tableside-for a while now. ANy idea what other restaurants in town might be in synch?

    What a beautiful portrait of your experience! Having spent a good deal of time in a top kitchen not long ago, the photo-captures of 'a night in motion' in the inner world of a splendor such as Trio are bittersweet to me. Thanks for the view!

    Seafood on the North Shore of Ma

    Ah! In Rockport, on the cove, the name of the 'shack' might be a composite of 'cove, shack, lobster'-oye, 'The Lobster Shack'! Watch the sunset on the grass over the water proper, huge melon sun, BYOB, easy, perhaps a bit pricey, but only more than getting your own off your lobster boat.

    Word on Yanks in Beverly Farms. Any takers?

    Chef's/Kitchen Tables

    Great thoughts on the querrilous Chef's Table. Sentiments divided between those working in the line of fire and those observing. Especially enjoyed the gracious comments of Jonathan Day and Chef Achatz. Thoughtful, honest and looking at both sides of the experience.

    Curiosity and grace don't come hand in hand. At the zoo, some gaze in quiet awe, others have to yell and play 'knoc-knock' with peanuts.

    Nothing more rewarding than an appreciation of art with requisite sublimation.

    Ah, dining in The Heartland.

    Trotter's I hear and I think of Tru. They both have Kitchen Tables although I have never dined at either, and while Trotter's table is right in the line of fire, Tru's is out of harm's way, so to speak.

    Anyone had the pleasure of dining at either table? Can anyone offer notes on service-do the Chefs and cooks serve and describe the food, or servers?

    What a curious way to dine....

    I'd like to ask the same of TRU, as I have heard so much-on varient levels-but as I only dined there once, and am hither and thither in the area, I'd love some up to date opinions............knowing as I do that they are just that: opinions!

    Thanks!

    "The Restaurant" Reality Show Season 1

    in Food Media & Arts

    Posted

    Well, ok. It ain't a Keller, or a Daniel, or a Tru-Hey, well, what about a Tramonto sketch?!

    Alas, it did depict facets of 'life backstage and front in the 'we're live!' of a restaurant, which is what working in this business is: LIVE.

    Great feedback on the Restaurant Show. It's the 'workings'................is it not?! Still, that last episode........yikes..........so staged, so very, very staged.

    Word?

    Ah.

    You must must must use local(I imagine you wouldn't select not to), and roast long and low and follow with good, good folk, and fabulously simple, pensive red wine........You cannot be dissapointed...........

    Maine and New Hampshire holiday

    in New England: Dining

    Posted

    Ron's Landing, Fore Street, Arrows.........all provocative choices, and well worth the visit, right up and down the coast.....NH/ME............and another in a quiet town in Beverly Farms, MA called Yanks........however, the town is quiet and probably best a local upscale intention coupled with Bostonians and their geographic offspring.

    If you're driving, and taking the somewhat costal MA route north, visit Goodale Apple Orchards for 'work in progress' delicious apple cider doughnuts-they've been around for years, but you can watch the doughnuts and the cider being made. Self pick apple orchard too.

    Send word on what you discover!

    Yes it does, but perhaps the Compass financial team is waiting until Chef Andelbradt takes over the helm 24/7.

    Anyone on the east coast, in NYC with word on the curious cuisine migrating up the west side?

    Cheers
