This is exciting. Maybe it will give me a reason to eat in New Jersey. The Vetri alum tend to do great things… Michael Solomonov at Marigold and now Zahav. Chip Roman at Blackfish. Jeff Michaud at Osteria. Jim Burke at James, etc
let me know when you all go. depending on how simple the menu is, ryan may go to.
Opening May or June. Ima keep an eye out and I’ll definitely let you know when we head out.
not to say i don’t like hanging out with ryan because i totally do… but if he’s interested in the menu, i have a feeling i won’t be. hahaha

ryan had the right idea ordering general tso’s chicken when we went out for hutch’s bday two years ago. he also passed up the plate of cold jellyfish.
Racist.
the jellyfish tasted like nothing. it was easily the least offensive thing ordered that nite. you are a racist
I figure if it’s Italian, there’s bound to be at least one thing on the menu he’d eat. But we’ll see :)
Well, it remains to see if it’s italian or italian american or some mix of the two, but if it hangs mostly on the former, which if I had to guess, I’d say it would, I"m not sure how much Ryan’d find to eat. That is to say, I don’t know how much stuff-with-red-sauce there will be on the menu. Not that there’s a goddam thing wrong with stuff-with-red-sauce, mind you. It’s just as different as can be from some of the more regional italian dishes Vetri has on his menu.
There was actually a really awesome fresh air interview a few days ago with an italian chef who was doing research into how italian-american cuisine came to be. Definitely worth listening to.
I’m glad I was bored enough in class to read this thread.
