Updated South and Pine and Lambertville

Fun weekend of food starting with Friday at the Station in Bernardsville and Leslie's favorite fish tacos.  Saturday we ran into old friends from the Bears Hockey team, the Barbagallo's at South and Pine.  South and Pine never disappoints and we really enjoyed the Burrito with green tomato's, the tile fish and the Havarti Mac and Cheese.  We found a new favorite for Brunch in Lambertville on Sunday so see my updated post under that heading in 2016.
 Last weekend loved Roots in Morristown with the great baked potato and NY strip steak.  The

fig and beet salad was an unusual offering this early in the fig season.

Updated South and Pine once again on 8/22/17 had the best Soft Shell Crab taco I ever had and the sea bass with fresh sweet corn just made the meal.

New Haven, CT

Terrible traffic on the Merritt and pretty much everywhere in the rain so we could not make our expected great brunch at The Corner Restaurant in Milton so Connor selected the Barraccuda Bistro in New Haven, CT. Lobster benedict, lobster tacos and chicken wraps were very good. Cool music and a perfect drink in a Guava Kentucky Mule.  Finished the day off with a fun party in Hamden with the 2017 Men's lacrosse bobcat grads.

Somerville

The Sisto's recommended Boulevard Seafood Company in Somerville, NJ and we ended up having an excellent meal last night.  The evening started with an excellent small plate of avocado crab tortelonni.  General rule of thumb is that you can't go wrong with a crab and avocado combo. Shrimp corn dogs were really unusual and tasty.  Black Sea bass and the soft-shell crab appetizers were excellent.

Roots and Morris Tap

A rarity in that I am posting a picture of my own food (I'm an eater not a cooker).  Dieters be wary for that pork roll, egg burger explosion!  For a more professional food experience we went to Morris Tap and Grill on Friday for duck quesadilla with ghost chilli (that's a spicy meatball!) Tonight really enjoyed Roots especially the shrimp and grits!

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.

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.
