Specials July 13th & 14th

Friday, the coast off California continues to produce some of the finest fishing in the world right now. A true treasure, California Sea Bass is in top season right now. Super-fresh, and wonderful, these line-caught, day boat beauties are the perfect faire for a summer weekend. Could it be any better? How about combining the Sea Bass with some of the best from the Atlantic, fresh Prince Edward Island Mussels and Littleneck Clams!

Saturday, I don’t often offer chicken as a special, but this bird was so exceptional that it had to happen. The Poulet Bleu or Blue Foot Chicken is the American version of the Poulet de Bresse, the famed chicken from France. Just how good is it? Food writers and America’s finest chefs have described it as “The Kobe Beef of Chicken!” Rich, textured perfectly, and beautifully aromatic, the Blue Foot is now so famous that it is being counterfeited (many chefs leave the distinctive blue foot on the bird just to demonstrate authenticity). America’s finest chicken deserves America’s finest mushroom, the wild Oregon Morel. I don’t have quite the pull that Per Se or Alain Ducasse do, so this is a limited offering, don’t miss out!

A little heads up for Friday July20. I knew I would be well rested from the Napa Valley, so I am going to be offering a vanilla poached fresh Maine lobster with foie gras. A special that I have been working on for some time, but knew it would be lots of work.

Enjoy!
