Taste Gastropub
Delray Beach
 I wanted to let you know about my exciting new restaurant project in Delray Beach, Florida, opening to the public Monday, May 12, 2010. I’m the consulting chef for Taste Gastropub, a wonderfully laid back, indoor-outdoor dining destination, offering soulful retro dishes and contemporary fare with an emphasis on beautiful ingredients. Joining me is talented executive chef Jamie DeRosa, a rising star who honed his skills at Chef Allen’s. Taste incorporates three dining/drinking bars, including a backyard garden with a waterfall, a sidewalk café and two cool inner dining areas. Offering contemporary dishes at prices designed to please, Taste serves handcrafted beers, fine wines, classic and innovative cocktails. With an emphasis on products sourced from small farmers and local fishermen, the menu ranges from tasty bar snacks to hearty entrees. There are delicious charcuterie platters, and raw bar items ranging from fresh seasonal oysters to house cured salmon. Small and medium plates include jerk chicken wing lollipops, with mango barbecue sauce, and Florida rock shrimp, with peanut brittle, chilies, soy lime and coriander. Hearty sandwiches are served a La Plancha. Large plates include a tender barbecue chicken with chorizo and cheddar tator tots; a daily braise is served in half and full portions. The dessert menu includes a Candy Bar with house-made retro chocolates. Please visit Taste Gastropub, located at 169 N.E. 2nd Avenue, Pineapple Grove, in Delray Beach and let me know what you think. We are serving dinner nightly; with lunch and brunch coming soon. Phone is 561-274-4444. |
Wine Corner
Taking into consideration that Mother’s Day is just around the corner along with the heat of South Florida summertime, these two wines will be perfect to celebrate with Mom and a refreshing way to withstand the heat: Nicolas Feuillate, Champagne, Brut and Cuvee Marie, Jurancon Sec.
Nicolas Feuillate, Champagne, Brut (20% Chardonnay, 40% Pinot Noir, 40% Pinot Meunier) is a beautiful backdrop of pears, fuji apples, grapefruits, and almonds engulfed in playful bubbles with a clean, dry finish. Enjoy some with your Mother’s Day brunch or with your Lobster dinner (if you decide to for go the beer selections!)
Charles Hours’ Cuvee Marie, Jurancon Sec, ’06, France is the best find in white wine that I have encountered in quite some time! This wine is an elegant representation of what some smaller, little known regions of France can produce! When tasting this wine one first experiences the delight of beautiful, rich gold color, and then you move into the fruity bouquet of apricots, and spring flowers, and finally finish with the parlay of light acid with tastes of creamy pear, allspice and a bit of smoke. This is a true GEM and we are offering it by the glass and the bottle!
REMEMBER: EVERY WEDNESDAY IS WINE DOWN WEDNESDAY—ALL BOTTLES OF WINE ON THE LIST ARE HALF PRICE!
