I just wanted to inform the Egullet world that I opened a restaurant/bar/gourmet and cheese shop in Clinton Hill Brooklyn. We have 16 rotating craft beers and a beautiful wine list. We have been opened since June 14th.

Our website is Mekelburgs.com

We just started our fall menu and will be posting some of the dishes shortly.

Hope to see some of you out here

is is a cheese and meat plate that we make.. It has crown finish caves, essex st cheese, prosciutto di parma and then cured meats from crested duck in Pittsburgh.  Love their stuff, especially the lomo right now.. But, they are always sending new things.

Salmon tartine on an everything baguette

the potato was raclette.. I love this freaking thing. The bacon is double smoked and then we cook it in a broth and press it for a couple of days before crisping it up.

That bearded fellow is our cheese monger. He worked at Neal's Yard in England for 15 years and is a super passionate and knowledgeable guy. Seriously, a one of a kind and we are so lucky to have him

BKEats, lovely to hear from you again. I remember how you took the time to send me a PM to fill out some details on a question I once asked. You mentioned you were opening a restaurant and I kept wondering if that had happened yet. And now I see it has, and what a fabulous looking spot it is! Is that 'egg monster' your little one? You certainly have been living a busy life! So many things happening. 

 

Your food looks and sounds delicious. I wish you every success!

Will you be doing mail order, especially for hard-to-find-elsewhere-stuff or really-special-stuff that you are or may be offering?

In terms of mail order I think we could set up a Three Floyds Zombie Dust exchange.

 

Heh. What're you offering in return? :-)

Oh, My Heavens, D-for Darlin'!

 

This is simply unimaginagle---I can smell all the fabulous aromas from here, and hear nothing but sighs, crunches and smacks.   What a splendid menu---so imaginative and put together with an expert eye and hand.

 

Oh.  My.   Just signing in to say Congratulations and WELL DONE. 

 

I hope you're all well, and can see that you are supremely happy and prospering.   That BRIGHTS me so much. 

 

love from the Heartland,

 

rachel
