Received this from Chef David Joseph 2 1lb Loaves Italian Panelle Bread cut into 1" cubes (day old is easiest to cut) 1 doz eggs 1 cup sugar 3 T pure vanilla extract 1 qt 1/2 and 1/2 8 to 12 oz chopped belgian bittersweet chocolate (we always used Calibeaut available at Fresh Fields) Mix eggs, sugar and vanilla at high speed in mixer until foamy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Bring half and half to a boil careful not to let it boil over. With mixer on slow, pour small amout of half and half into egg mixture. Gradually add remaining half and half until fully incorporated. Pour mixture over bread and let soak for several hours until most of the liquid is absorbed. Add chocolate and pour mix into buttered baking pan. Bake at 350 for 30 to 40 minutes until puffy and set. We have started baking the pudding in a waterbath, but this is much more difficult to handle and not something I would advise at home unless you feel comfortable with the process.

How do you know of the review if it comes out "tomorrow?" (Just curious) Is it online? Some people who have home delivery get the NJ Sunday section of the NY Times on Saturday.

I always buy bread from there or from Il Forno on Fullerton Ave. in Montclair.Both excellent places. Have had Gina's fruit pies which I can highly recommend. This is an interesting up and coming area of Montclair. Corso 98, a BYO Italian restaurant on the next block is one of my favorites.

Haven't been in a long time but Tania's, a Polish restaurant in Jersey City, has great potato pancakes and pierogi.

BYO?

wfnugent---XXXXX I was looking for the link to the article all day and couldn't find it. What did I do wrong and what did you do right? Thanks for posting it.

Nanyun--Welcome to eGullet. In your area I can highly recommend Zoes By The Lake.

There is an article about e-food and eGullet by Suzanne Zimmer Lowery in the Savor section of the Star Ledger today, pages 49 & 52.

Welcome to eGullet zhelder and thanks for your post. Let us know other places you like to dine.

Never been here either but from your description I think I'll stick with the excellent BYO Italian restaurants in the area.

Thanks for all the information FoodieRD

West Orange Frank--Don't forget that we have the pig roast scheduled for Sept 12 at Bobolink. All are invited. Fabulous pictures.

Could it be on Paterson Plank Rd in East Rutherford?

Please give us the address of this restaurant. Was the food good? What else did you have? I would have moved my car from the lot and gone someplace else to eat. If I wanted to stay in Rutherford for Italian I would have gone to Paisano’s 132 Park Ave. Rutherford. 201-935-5755 BYO

Congratulations Lou on winning for Best New American Restaurant--North in the 2004 New Jersey Monthly Readers' Choice Awards.

Chef Vola's on Albion Pl. ????

Lou--Also, you new a larger sign in the mall where your restaurant is located. It's easy to pass it by.

I disagree about coupons. To me it means trouble. If I go someplace and get a discount I don't want to pay full price the next time. I dislike the Entertainment book because many restaurants in there are in trouble financially. Lou--get a good PR firm. They get the word out.

It's ok. Certainly not the best but I haven't found anything to my liking in the West Orange area yet.

Poor Lou. Did you have a bad night? No recommendations for your restaurant. You serve great food and service has always been exemplary. Your steak sandwich is the best I have ever had and I love your seven(?) or five (?) spiced tuna.
