New York City

Great night in NYC with Leslie at the Clapton concert. The night started at District Social on 37th street. We started with a shrimp flat bread with gruyere cheese.  Leslie's Cod was really light and a perfect combo with the mashed potatoes.  My Bronzino was also light and had some nice drizzle and rub on the side which worked.  The Happy Hour beer was excellent and really reasonable especially in NYC.

savannah, georgia and hilton head, south carolina

I turned a golf outing with my Basking Ridge buddies into, of course, a nice food experience down South in Savannah and Hilton Head. Started at Buffalo's for a casual meal in Bob T.'s club for some nice fish sandwiches but the brunch was the star with shrimp and crab omelet.  The next couple nights went to the Canoe Club  which had a different but nice version of the gumbo. The crab beignets were unbelievably creamy and delicious.  One ugly scene however when I had to fight Bob T. for a few spoonfulls of the chocolate ice cream desert at the Canoe Club.  :) ;)






Bob saved the best for last when we eat at the Olde Pink House in Savannah.  The crab bisque was smooth and rich. We chose the Habersham platter that had scallops, shrimp and grits (of, course!) and crab cakes. We need to go back when we have more time and explore the food of Savannah!

Went really local this weekend and sat at the bar in the Black Horse restaurant in Mendham.  I had a lat lunch from Marie's chicken joint in Chatham (good brisket sandwich and fried chicken meal) so something light was in store.  Coconut shrimp skewers, Shrimp on a nice crisp shrimp were a nice compliment to crab tater tots.
