@MizWithers just call me Houdini!
By Kristin Gennuso, Chez Pascal I was sitting at the edge of the beach; my toes were finding a warm haven in the sand, the briny air was playing an aromatic symphony in my nose. Suddenly, the sea rolled up, and with it came the most glorious epiphany! Scallops and rosemary and countless other [...]
There’s an Arthur Miller quote that goes “Glamour, that trans-human aura or power to attract imitation, is a kind of vessel into which dreams are poured, and some vessels are simply worthier than others.” To the wine and spirits rep, that vessel is often a 750ml bottle; many have been wooed by the idealized history [...]
Rhode Palate talked with Rob Booz of Chefs Collaborative & Derek Wagner from nicks on broadway (also co-leader of the Chefs Collaborative RI Network) about the role of farmers, chefs & Chefs Collaborative in the farm-to-fork movement, the challenges they face, and what can be done to make local & sustainable food as affordable and [...]
The ever changing exterior A Q&A with Kristin Gennuso of Chez Pascal Recently, Rhode Palate chatted with Kristin Gennuso of Chez Pascal about the changes that are happening at the restaurant. We heard through the grapevine that a walk-up sausage/wiener/wurst window will soon (as in this spring) be gracing their elegant façade. This is [...]
Wiener window (and bar!) construction is humming along at Chez Pascal! Tucked in a cozy space next to the main bar, the wurst-nook is looking pretty snazzy–even in the magenta-haze of our poorly executed photo. There’s a full mini-kitchen being created behind that gorgeous new woodwork; Matt Gennuso tells us it should be all [...]
The hiss of the radiator. The crack of the fire. The clink-clank of the baseboard. Whatever your poison, the price of cozy toes is always the same: dry as bone. Upside? The crisp, cool white wines of winter. I’m not talking run-of-the-mill sauvignon blanc–the kind you chug in summer with reckless abandon. I’m talking about [...]
by Leigh Ranucci, Wine Traditions, LTD When it comes to schlepping for the holidays, I strap on my party shoes and take the high road. Eat your heart out Arthur Miller, I walk with Champagne! I’m not talking about Dom Perignon to match my Louis Vuittons (LVMH you eat your heart out). This is [...]
The 3rd & final part in a series…Maybe. After our first encounter with cocktails at the Dorrance, we knew once just wouldn’t be enough. So on another rainy night (what is this, Blade Runner?) we found ourselves again stationed at the bar in front of Jay Carr, as well as John Dille, who’s known to [...]
This is Rhode Island, home of free-thinking, outspoken misfits, so we really don’t care what you call the tree you stick in your living room in hopes that presents will magically appear beneath it (fingers-crossed for a Lexus in a bow this year!). But if you’re looking for a freshly cut tree at a reasonable [...]
This is such a fantastic endeavor. Just one more thing that makes Providence awesome. Sunday the 27th, from 10a-2p! Come meet our farmers for an indoor market, pick up fresh produce, have some coffee and bakery treats, hear good tunes and enjoy the Grocery in its brand-new glory. The Fertile Underground have undertaken the [...]
