When I first heard that Chakra was opening in Paramus I thought it was an Indian restaurant.

When I was at Dish about 5 years ago Chef Steve Santoro was putting our memorable food. He is no longer there. Dish 40 Brighton Ave. Passaic Park, NJ 973-773-9335

Susan--Thanks for the report. I thought that they weren't going to open for dinner till Oct.

Is it BYO???

Are they open for lunch?

docsconz--Were you at Arthur's cooking school there?

As of 9/8 I will have a list of his NJ appearances at: http://www.njmonthly.com/rosie/fevent.html You can also check his home page at: www.arthurschwartz.com

Who's the new chef/owner and when did he take the place over.

" OLD Ladies" Were you talking about me??? His events, cooking classes or appearances draw a very mixed crowd of men and women. I would say there are a lot of young, old, and middle aged people who are very upset.

For information on his cooking school log onto: For information log onto http://www.arthurschwartz.com/seliano/index.html Arthur's home page is at www.arthurschwartz.com

More information here: http://www.nypost.com/entertainment/18923.htm Also, his new cookbook, "Arthur Schwartz's New York City Food: An Album, History and Cookbook" is expected out in November.

Arthur Schwartz resigned from WOR two days ago. Sad to hear my favorite radio show will no longer be on WOR. Hoping another station picks him up.

NO.

Maybe I can make it on the date she posted!!

I can't make it on the 9th either Lou. More info here: http://forums.egullet.org/index.php?showto...Stage+House+Inn Was there in May and was very impressed with the food.

There are also food trucks outside the courthouse in Newark.

Osteria Giotto received 2 1/2 stars in the September issue of NJ Monthly magazine.

Each town has their own health inspectors. This is the info I found: 1. Satisfactory Rating (white placard with black border) - The issuance of a Satisfactory posting reflects overall compliance with sanitary regulations and the existence of only minor violations needing to be addressed by the next annual inspection. 2. Conditionally Satisfactory Rating (yellow placard)- A Conditionally Satisfactory posting is given when an establishment contains violations of a nature not deemed to be an immediate threat to health. The establishment is given a maximum period of thirty days to address the violations and is subject to a re-inspection to determine if compliance has been met. 3. Unsatisfactory Rating (red placard)- The issuance of a Unsatisfactory rating denotes violations deemed to be and immediate threat to public health. The establishment is requested to voluntarily close to immediately address the violations. If the establishment refuses to comply, immediate court action is initiated to close the establishment until all violations have been corrected.

Breanna’s 34 Ridgedale Ave. East Hanover BYO has acceptable Italian food.

Mr. Chu's for Chinese. An American Grill is always a good bet.

FYI Church Street Cafe, 12 Church St, Montclair (973-233-0216); BYO. Susan--How were the prices and were they busy?

roverinexile--Welcome to eGullet. Fascino is one of the restaurants that the NJ egullet posters love. More info here: http://forums.egullet.org/index.php?showtopic=33311&st=0 Be sure to give us a report on your dinner. Also, I'd bring two bottles ---one white and one red.
