Good Morning!!!

First off, want to say thanks to those that attended the popup we hosted for David Israelow of Four Corners restaurant which will be opening sometime next spring, at 1 Kinderhook Street, the former home of the Blue Plate. A yummy evening that gave us a glimpse of what ahead!! There will be future popups, so follow @fourcournerschatham for updates.

A few updates this week. Soup is chilled cucumber, refreshing and tangy with yogurt and fresh herbs. The wedge salad gets a tweak, sweet beets are joined by juicy grilled apricots, and cool & crunchy lightly pickled cucumber, replacing the carrot and celery. Sandwich is Jambon de Paris, gouda, peaches and arugula on baguette with sweet butter. Grilled zucchini and feta sandwich stays the same. For something sweet, a mixed berry and lemon curd galette is delicious!

Chilled sesame noodles was number one last week and just in time for that steamy weekend. Of course they are back and here for the summer. Lasagne is with beautiful romanesco zucchini, fresh basil, tomato sauce, parmigiano, pecorino and mozzarella. We are adding cherry tomatoes, cucumber and red onion. You also have the option of adding grilled flank steak making it a perfect summer meal.

Garlic scape-basil butter will be around only briefly. It is delicious and versatile. Top any grilled protein or vegetable for a quick sauce. Toss with pasta, as in any of the Via Ravioli. Make garlic scape bread. Grab a baguette, split it, schmear with scape butter and bake in a hot oven. Cook your scrambled or fry your eggs in it. Use your imagination!!

Mimi is bring more seasonal jams. Black currant from her garden is new to the line up and available this week. More newness next week! These small batch preserves are obviously delicious on toast, think about vanilla ice cream, or alongside grilled pork or on a cheese board or a sandwich.

Don’t forget we always have Yundwell Pastured Eggs, TriBeCa bakery baguettes, Via Ravioli, and by request, creme fraiche biscuits, and frittata.

Michael is awaiting your calls beginning at 9. Have a wonderful week!!
