Keeping in fresh, checking out some new coffee from Stumptown roasters!

March 12, 2009

Matt Lounsbury an old friend of mine who works at Stumptown roasters in Oregon sent me  a bunch of samples to try out.  There were some real winners.  The Guatamala was my favorite and then the Kenyan roast followed by the Ethiopia.  All the coffees had that delicate roast to them and had many complexities to them.  MM delicious.  Thanks Matt

People always ask what equipment to buy, and I always tell them you can’t go wrong at JB Prince.   They don’t have inflated prices or any crappy equipment.   They’ve got all of the cutting edge stuff that real cooks like.  They mainly sell to the top restaurants and line cooks in NYC.

One of Mario B’s places.  I went because while in the kitchen trailing at Le Bernardin, and Aureole all of the line cooks told me to go. 

It’s a no frills killer place to eat and drink.

Napa and Co- Great food and drink, Bill’s super talented, and a good friend, we’ve worked a few events together (like Napa night at the Schoolhouse, and the Millstone dinner). I love working with him and his crew.  Lookout for upcoming events that we have up our sleeves.

BTY…Bill is the only person I have ever had to charge a corkage fee to for bringing his own steak to the restaurant.  Thank god I didn’t overcook it.
