Outside it was a crisp November eve, inside we were greeted warmly by the Hostess who checked us in and went to see about our table. I ordered us a couple of Cabernet's at the bar and we warmed our hands by the wood burning fireplace, raised our glasses to the future and drank to the past.<br />

Our hostess returned momentarily, placed our drinks on a tray and escorted us to our table. Once seated we looked over the Restaurant Week menu , starting with the dessert selection first and then working our way towards the top. Our server came by and presented us with a Pan Roasted Diver Scallop with Fava Bean Ragu and Oyster Mushrooms as a starter compliments of the Chef.</div>

Several times during the meal we were visited by staff as well as Chef Kelly inquiring as to how we were enjoying our dining so far, and whether we required any else. One nice touch was our server, who did not take our original drink order, knew that we were drinking Cabernet and brought the bottle over with her to our table when asking us if we would like another glass. That would be a resounding "yes".</div>

Chef did throw in a surprise, perhaps it was my camera flash going off that alerted him, because no sooner did our desserts appear, so did a Carrot Cake with his compliments, which ran a close second to the Cobbler in my opinion.</div>

The staff are warm, friendly and attentive. Just the thing I was looking for post Sandy and the Nor-Easter. I dined with my friend Elise. We like to share and started with a fresh and zesty Arugula salad with corn, pistachio and gorgonzola cheese <span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none;">and Lollipop Chicken legs, with a Teriyaki glaze. So, unlike the usual wings places serve that are messy, these are very easy to eat and your fingers stay </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none;">relatively clean.</span></div>

One thing I had heard about was that Casey Egan the owner of Emma’s had just added a Draft Root beer ice cream float, the root beer (non alcoholic) was made by <a href="http://www.saranac.com/" target="_blank">Saranac Brewery</a> in Utica NY. One nice touch is that it’s served with two straws for fun sharing and an additional side carafe of root beer, cause there's sooo... much ice cream in the soda fountain glass, once your half way through it, you just add what's in the carafe and extend your float experience. </div>

Our server arrived with our entrees. Somehow we managed to pull our lips from the straws, long enough to make room for the Sesame crusted Salmon with sliced Brussels spouts and rice and Fish-n-chips. Both fishes were fresh tasting, The salmon was cooked to order. The fillet batter crisp and not greasy. Both were moist and substantial size portions. Can anyone one say “left overs please” </div>

So, if you can get over to <a href="http://www.emmasalehouse.com/" target="_blank">Emma’s Ale house</a> in White Plains I think you’ll enjoy the dinning experience. Oh, did I mention they’re a great sports bar too. Lots of Ale’s and big screen TV’s, no of which will interfere with your dinning, unless of course you want them to.</div>

I thought my ultimate foodie day/night was over, it started with the wine crush at Harvest, and was seemingly over at the Cookery's Cooktober fest last night, at Captain Lawrence's Brewery but turns out there was one more edible delight to <br />
be had. This morning my landlord Vinny shows up and announces(no, the rents not due yet) "bring a plate, just got back from tuna fishing, here are some tuna steaks, and would you like some belly too? " Ha! will be cookin tonight.The Cook's Platehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05329829845865629293noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357210603357356627.post-75261428019817412612012-10-22T13:21:00.001-04:002012-10-23T08:36:52.746-04:00What's your Ultimate Foodie Day ?Autumn in the Northeast is certainly one of the most beautiful times of the year.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm happy to admit that I've eaten my fair share of pizza over the years. Recently I've become a fan of wood fired pizza. Perhaps its the intense heat that forms a perfect crust, or the slightly smokey flavor, either way I'm a big fan. Here is a story about the creation of a mobile wood fired pizza oven commissioned by my good friend <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.thecookeryrestaurant.com" target="_blank">Chef David Dibari</a> and oven builder Peter de Jong of <a href="http://www.firedupkitchens.com/" target="_blank">Fired up Kitchens. </a> Like us: <a href="http://www.facebook.com/thecooksplate" target="_blank">www.facebook.com/thecooksplate</a></div>

To fully enjoy the completeness and thought fullness that goes into each of these dishes one only has to make sure to have all the components of what ever particular dish your experiencing, on the fork at the same time. In my opinion, Chef Anthony Goncalves, hit it out of the park, with his Pork Belly and I feel it deserves close inspection.</div><div style="font: 12.0px Geneva; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 16.0px;"><br />

The first bite starts with a delicately thin crunch from a caramelized top micro layer. Beneath, a plush soft underbelly with a balanced savory saltiness melts in your mouth, followed by an every so slight sweetness of the chocolate caviar (dont ask me how he makes it, because I haven’t the slightest idea) and finishes with the bright and tangy spicy pepper sauce. As though that wasn’t enough with the second bite, the addition of the fried quail egg and it’s runny yolk creates a whole new dimenision of texture and flavors. </div><div style="font: 12.0px Geneva; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 16.0px;"><br />

If your a fan of thin crust pizza, like I am, you might want to stop by the Harvest on Hudson restaurant in Hastings on Hudson, NY. While they make a variety of toppings for their brick oven pizza, I had the good fortune to catch up with Harvest’s Executive Chef Vincent Barcelona today. He recommended I try the daily special pizza. Pear, Gorgonzola and Ricotta drizzled with honey. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEju1Mw_BDJmG9u22_zjy4oR-yPNBz9-HfybFrA-RPXkShpdr4iLU_ghPhdguGSmHMVTtvlMaqRTNMSnW4DEfmS85tMU6E9m2pdHOAu_oQgsuC4Y7hSKW1WD6HRvh7aNsCF0StAG1uhX409m/s1600/pizza-13web.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEju1Mw_BDJmG9u22_zjy4oR-yPNBz9-HfybFrA-RPXkShpdr4iLU_ghPhdguGSmHMVTtvlMaqRTNMSnW4DEfmS85tMU6E9m2pdHOAu_oQgsuC4Y7hSKW1WD6HRvh7aNsCF0StAG1uhX409m/s320/pizza-13web.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>I was glad I took him up on his suggestion. At first bite the slightly crispy crust quickly yielded to the sharpness of the gorgonzola, only to be soften by the sweetness of the pear and honey, while the ricotta smoothed the way for the next titillating taste. Overall I was impressed with this pizza's big flavor profile and creative selection of ingredients. I would recommend it to any pizza enthusiast. While they call them personal size pizzas they seem big enough for two to enjoy, and you can always get them to go.
