Knob Creek's "Damn Great Drink"

"Damn Great, Full-Flavor".

Soft polenta and aged cheddar, and Southern Greens to accompany the pig.

Joey Campanaro cooked alongside Chef Michael Symon at Knob Creek Bourbon’s whole pig roast at Ramscale. Guests noshed on cuts of the whole pig provided by Pat La Frieda meats, Pat himself performed the demo with Symon. All the recipes featured Knob Creek Bourbon— grilled skirt steak with cherry & bourbon steak sauce, bourbon chicken thighs, bourbon pineapple steaks (Symon did a demo grilling the pineapple too). Top that off with the night’s cocktails, the “Big & Stout”, the “Damn Great Drink”, “Summer Spice”, & “Spice of Life”.

Bourbon cocktails. Grilled pineapple. Whole pig. & More bourbon. Can’t think of a better way to spend a summer night in NYC.

Katz’s 125th Anniversary

Chefs Joey Campanaro, Danny Bowien (Mission Chinese), Bill Telepan (Telepan) & Sarabeth Levine (Sarabeth’s) prepared a celebratory dinner in honor of Katz’s 125th Anniversary. All proceeds went to The Henry Street Settlement. Joey prepared the first course. A take on white fish & latkes, his Lake Superior white fish - pickled tomato & red onion relish with potato latke, spinach salad, chopped egg and trout roe dressing got the evening started. Followed by Bowien’s Kung Pao Pastrami, Telepan’s Matzo Ball Soup & Levine’s cheesecake with orange sauce & crystallized ginger, it was a dinner of homage & praise to 125 years of iconic Katz’s cuisine.

Quality Clam Pops Up in Miami (contd.)

The Genuine Gang invited Chefs Joey Campanaro & Mikey Price to Miami for a Pop-Up at Harry’s Pizzeria. The dynamic duo gave Miamians a sneak peak (& taste) of their latest joint venture “Quality Clam”, the soon-to-be sister of little owl & Market Table restaurants, which joins them in the West Village later this year.

a special thank you to Chef Michael Schwartz, Jackie Sayet & The Genuine Hospitality Group for letting us bring a little NYC to the MIA.

Soft shell clams were called maninose [‘man of noses’] in the Carolinas in 1709. “Man of Noses are a Shell-Fish commonly found amongst us. They are valued for increasing Vigour in Men, and making barren Women fruitful; but I think they have no need of that Fish; for the Women in Carolina are fruitful enough without their Helps.”

Easter Sunday Joey taught “School of Fish” at The Venue. Students learned preparations for flounder served camp fire style, plank roasted salmon with horseradish & dijon, & Asian inspired whole porgy.

T’was the finale to our Living Social cooking class series, & it couldn’t have ended on a better note.

Come by and taste our amazing new Liquid Farm Chardonnay from Santa Barbara County. Vibrant acidity, toasted brioche, spiced pear and ginger tea. All the dynamics and complexity you would want from a So-Cal Chard but with a Burgundian structure and elegance that you rarely find from this region. We are the first to pour in in NYC and it is not to be missed. (at Little Owl)
