<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Today, I would like to introduce you to Davidson's Safest Choice™ Pasteurized Eggs. How would you like to eat your favorite egg dishes without having to worry about the risk of contracting Salmonella or other viruses and bacteria? Well now you can! Thanks to a patented, all-natural egg pasteurization process these risks are completely eliminated. Using only warm water and a unique combination of time and temperature, farm fresh eggs are heated to the exact temperature needed to destroy all bacteria without cooking the egg or changing its taste. Because the surface of each egg has thousands of tiny pores, a thin layer of food-grade wax coats the eggs once they are pasteurized, preventing cross contamination and extending its shelf life to over two months. Whoa! That sure is a long time...although they wouldn't last that long in my house, lol! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Safest Choice™ eggs have received the ACF Seal of Approval for culinary performance from the American Culinary Federation, Inc., the nation's premier organization for professional chefs and cooks. So with all these accolades, you might be wondering by now, how do they taste?!? Well, to be honest, the first time I tried them in a frittata and really couldn't detect any distinct difference. (Although just knowing that these eggs were free from bacteria risks offered peace of mind, making it worthwhile for that fact alone, in my book). I decided to hard boil them to use to make deviled eggs. I have to tell you that I did notice that they peeled really easy and the taste of my lemongrass infused deviled eggs were outstanding. Not bad for my first attempt at making deviled eggs. I combined lemongrass paste with mayo and mixed with the egg yolks along with diced tomatoes and shallots and added a pinch of truffle salt. Delish!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Today, I am happy to introduce you to Dolcedi (pronounced dol-che-dee), a new all natural, low-glycemic alternative to sugar made from 100% organic apples and with 25% fewer calories than table sugar and 0% shortage on taste! Rigoni di Asiago, a family-owned & operated company based in Northern Italy (90 miles north of Venice), makes Dolcedi from the concentrated and filtered sugar extracted from organic apples. It is certified USDA organic, non-GMO, gluten-free, vegan and STAR-KOSHER. So, how does it taste, you might want to know?!? I decided to try it as a substitute for honey in a kale salad recipe that calls for 1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil, 1/4 cup honey, the juice of one lemon and a pinch of kosher salt. I loved the fact that the Dolcedi didn't have the stickiness of honey and provided just the right amount of sweetness. I actually prefer the Dolcedi to honey and will use this from now on when making this salad. It's also great in tea or anything you would normally use sugar or sweetener on. Dolcedi is available in stores nationwide in a 12.34 ounce squeezable bottle with a dripless cap. For more info, you can visit their <a href="http://rigonidiasiago-usa.com/" target="_blank">website</a>. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: 14.6667px;">One of the perks of being a food and lifestyle blogger is that on occasion, I am sent really cool gourmet food products to sample and to share my experience with them with each of you! I was delighted to have recently been contacted by the PR firm of G.H. Cretors to sample their very first, newly released</span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; line-height: 16.8667px;"> Limited Edition collection of seasonal popcorns, including </span><b style="font-size: 14.6667px; line-height: 16.8667px;">Orchard Apple Caramel Corn, Pumpkin Spice Caramel Corn</b><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; line-height: 16.8667px;"> and </span><b style="font-size: 14.6667px; line-height: 16.8667px;">Double Chocolate Caramel Corn</b><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; line-height: 16.8667px;">. </span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; line-height: 16.8667px;">This was my first time even hearing about this product and I am so glad that they reached out to me, otherwise, I'm sure I would've never even known about it. (And I'm sure you are glad too!) </span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; line-height: 16.8667px;">Each new flavor incorporates the company’s classically-delicious popped corn, which is made the old-fashioned way in copper kettles. </span></div>

The holidays are quickly approaching and soon images of pumpkin and spice and everything nice will be in the air. This year, Chicago based G.H.

I enjoyed this combo of flavors as well and it made a great day time snack. Again, the company spared no expense including big chunks of walnuts and whole roasted pumpkin seeds. No skimping here. </span></div>

Okay all you chocoholics out there. This one's for you! I couldn't get enough of this one and it became my go-to night snack. I really enjoyed the combination of the caramel, chocolate and nuts. I also want to add that the size of the kernels (in all their bags) are quite impressive; uniformly large and completely coated with yummy caramel to which some of the pieces adhered and formed little clusters (which I at first found by accident and then later found myself peaking in the bag in search of!)</span></div>

Each of the new flavors incorporates G.H. Cretors' classically-delicious caramel popped corn, which is made the old- fashioned way: by hand, in copper kettles. Cane sugar, brown rice syrup (a non-GMO alternative to corn syrup with a lower glycemic impact) and creamy butter are heated over a flame to develop a rich, complex flavor. Freshly popped popcorn is then hand-mixed with the caramel to ensure each kernel is perfectly coated with buttery caramel. Like all G.H. Cretors popped corn varieties, the Limited Edition flavors are made with all-natural ingredients completely free of GMOs, artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives and are gluten-free and kosher.</div>

The Limited Edition flavors will be available in 8-ounce bags for an MSRP of $5.99 and will be available in natural food and mainstream grocery stores in September. The Limited Edition Holiday Tin will include an 8-ounce bag of Orchard Apple Caramel Corn, an 8-ounce bag of Pumpkin Spice Caramel Corn, and a 5-ounce bag of Chicago Mix. It will be available in natural food and mainstream grocery stores in September for an MSRP of $19.99.

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #909090; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 20px;">With so many restaurants to choose from in Boca, especially Italian ones, what sets Merlino's apart? </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #909090; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 20px;">Merlino’s, under the direction of Executive Chef Angelo Morinelli, combines centuries-old recipes with contemporary South Philadelphia flare. They feature an impressive bar and lounge area where friends gather to partake in generous glasses of wine from their extensive wine list as well as top shelf and premium brands.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #909090; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 20px;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #909090; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 20px;"><span style="font-size: large;">Shaina and I were invited to dine there by GM Donnie who was just getting settled there in his new role. Now I have been to Merlino's a few times before, you can check out my previous post by clicking <a href="http://bocafoodfinds.blogspot.com/2014/11/merlinos-is-bringing-south-philly.html" target="_blank">here</a>, but this was Shaina's first visit.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #909090; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 20px;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #909090; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 20px;"><span style="font-size: large;">It's always nice to get a visit from a restaurant's chef and Chef Angelo, who I have come to know from the South Florida dining scene, put a big smile on our faces when he came out to greet us warmly. We discussed some of the menu selections before he suggested a wine that he thought we'd both enjoy. Boy was he spot on with his recommendation of Stellina Pinot Grigio. This wine paired perfectly with our starter of escarole and beans. This dish had the perfect balance of tartness and acidity and has become one of Shaina's and my favorites and something you can pretty much bet we will order if we see it on a menu. That and octopus!</span><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<span style="font-size: large;">We decided to share a gnocchi dish for our next course and instead of going with the traditional red sauce, we opted to go with a vodka sauce. "No problem", said Chef Angelo. "As you wish". That's the can-do attitude that makes Merlino's stand out. That attitude starts at the top and seems to be instilled in all who work there. Our server Brian was very attentive to our needs and even remembered me from my previous two visits, even though I hadn't been there in a while. Everyone likes to feel remembered and welcomed back, so kudos to Brian for his exceptional hospitality and service as well.</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #909090; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 20px;"><span style="font-size: large;">For our next course, we decided to go with the Branzino deboned tableside, served with a side of broccoli rabe. The fish was exquisite. It was cooked to perfection. Light and flaky and melted in our mouths like butter.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #909090; font-family: Droid Sans, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;">Although we normally end our dinner reviews with dessert, this was one of those rare occasions that we decided not to. We actually were headed to another event that evening where we were sure to imbibe in more cocktails so we didn't want to be too weighed down with anything like a heavy dessert. But, I have a pretty good feeling that Merlino's will be seeing much more of us in the future.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Hello Foodie Friends,</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Off The Hook Seafood Restaurant has joined the East
Boca Raton Restaurant scene and is already making a splash!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Located in the Fifth Avenue Shops lies an eclectic
little seafood place serving reasonably priced meals in a laid-back and
family-friendly environment. The atmosphere is fun and whimsical with bright,
nautical colors and décor, a boat-shaped bar and exotic saltwater fish and coastal
photographs lining the walls. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Off The Hook opened a couple months ago and was the location of my most recent Denise's Foodie Event. We had 22 guests ready to try the tasting menu we had planned for them. We had a lovely medley for </span><span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">starters, including Popcorn Shrimp Parmesan, Conch Fritters, Baked Clams Oreganata and Mini Crab Cakes.</span></span><br />

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 18.6666660308838px; line-height: 21.4666652679443px;">While I enjoyed each and every one of the starters, I have to say that the Popcorn Shrimp Parmesan was the most unique. The crab cakes were also a stand out amongst the group. Next, we were served their signature Shrimp Cappucino, a kicked up version of a shrimp bisque. This soup is really rich and feels like you are being hugged from the inside as the sip makes its way down your mouth, past your throat and into your tummy! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: 18.6666660308838px; line-height: 21.4666652679443px;">Next, we were served their Kale salad. Feta cheese, sliced almonds, dried cranberries complimented the kale and was tossed with a strawberry vinaigrette. The salad was fresh and crisp and had all the key components in it, but the kale could have used a little time in the marinade to fully absorb the vinaigrette and soften up, in my opinion.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 18.6666660308838px; line-height: 21.4666652679443px;">The grilled Mahi, although slightly overcooked, was served with a nice mango relish that that really tied the dish together. The Lobster Ravioli, served in a vodka sauce, was quite tasty. But my favorite entree of the night was the lemon sole- stuffed with crab meat and shrimp. It was like butta! lol. So delish, it totally caught me by surprise.</span></div>

Hello Foodie Friends,</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
This past Monday, I had the pleasure of dining at McCoy's Oceanfront Restaurant, located inside the Marriott Pompano Beach. I first heard about McCoy's while working at one of the <a data-mce-href="http://www.swankspecialtyproduce.com/" href="http://www.swankspecialtyproduce.com/">Swank Table events</a> at Swank Farm up in Loxahatchee. That's where I met Brianne who was there serving up a signature cocktail to the guests upon their arrival. A few weeks later, purely by coincidence, I received information about McCoy's upcoming Easter Brunch menu followed by an invite from McCoy's PR firm to come experience McCoy's first hand. Perfect, I thought!</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
I wasn't actually sure where the Marriott in Pompano Beach was, but my GPS had me coming across the 14th St. Causeway and as soon as I did, I was on familiar ground as I saw straight ahead the former Ocean Sands Resort & Spa (now a Marriott Residence Inn) where I had once worked for a brief stint. This Marriott where I was headed, was just a couple buildings south.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">McCoy's draws its inspiration from the grit and character of Bill McCoy who gloried in his reputation as an honest law-breaker. McCoy never watered down his smuggled spirits nor used imposter labels. McCoy's products were the real deal, or as they were referred to in the many speakeasies from New York to Florida, the </span><span style="background-color: white;">"</span><span style="background-color: white;">real McCoy". At McCoy's Oceanfront, Chef Daniel Gerety is serving up a mindfully-crafted menu to emulate the reputation of Bill McCoy's legacy.</span></div>

<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
My companion chose The Repeal of 1933, which was a pretty little number made with Azunia Tequila, Montelobos Mescal, Fresh Strawberries, Jalepenos and Lime. Of course I had to have a sip, right?! Muy delicioso! I chose the Glad Rags which was made with St. Augustine Vodka, St. Germaine Elderflower Liqueur (one of my new faves), Fresh Grapefruit and Rosemary. It was awesome! </div>

Shortly after our cocktails arrived at our table, so did Executive Chef Daniel. It was both a surprise and a delight that he took the time to speak with us about the menu and while he gave us the opportunity to select from anything on the menu, we took him up on his offer to bring us out some items that thought we might enjoy based on our conversation. How cool was that? Chef Daniel gathered we were seafood lovers so the first course out was a seafood medley (not normally served this way, but after we went crazy over it, something tells me it just might make its way on the menu that way. It was a definite hit with us).</div>

The plate consisted of their spicy tuna tartar (not so spicy, really; take it from this spice-challenged foodie)- made with <span style="background-color: white;">avocado, wakame and some type of Asian aioli and garnished with crispy wonton strips. I loved the texture and the balance of all the different flavors.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">The Pan-Seared Diver Sea Scallops were cooked to perfection in McCoy's rum butter and topped with a tropical salsa garnish that really tied the dish together. Although the first two were both scrumptious, my companion and I both went gaga over the the final item on the plate: the ceviche. Made from local snapper, mango, fresno pepper, cilantro and truffled maize and placed upon a wonton chip and garnished with micro cilantro and toasted corn kernels, we could have eaten this dish all night long! </span></div>

This dish of diver scallops, gulf shrimp, pancetta, sweet peas, oyster mushrooms, Parmesan Reggiano and garnished with a crispy sage leaf was every bit as good as it looked! It certainly had a lot going on and the flavors were outstanding. To me, the oyster mushrooms were the hit at this party taking place in my mouth. If you've never had farro before, you don't know what you're missing and if you've had it before but not at McCoy's, you don't know what you're missing!</div>

Next Chef Daniel brought us their short rib pappardelle made with a Cabernet reduction, wild mushrooms, shallots, pancetta, crème fraiche, Parmesan Reggiano and topped with escabeche (marinated salad of assorted pickled vegetables). At first, one might ask how on earth do pickled vegetables belong on this dish? Trust me, it does. The escabeche totally balanced out the flavors of the robust beef and the creaminess of the crème fraiche. It's quite brilliant actually.</div>

By this time, we are already getting full but Chef Daniel had one more entree he wanted to impress us with, so we nodded politely to go ahead and bring it on. The portion you see here is a half portion of their Grilled Beef Tenderloin. Pretty, isn't it? It was served with a truffle (ah hello, did someone say truffle? My favorite!) jus and red pepper confit and set atop a sliced yukon gold potato and asparagus spears. I took a few bites and not to my surprise, it was fabulous, only I really didn't have room to eat any more (thank goodness for take out containers) if I was going to even attempt to taste any of their desserts. </div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">And speaking of desserts...Chef Daniel decided to do a trio of some of their top sellers: the Best of Both Worlds, the NY Cheesecake, and the Black & White Shooter. All were tasty, but my favorite was the Black & White Shooter that had a little extra surprise of chocolate pearls (dark chocolate and cocoa flakes) waiting at the bottom of the glass. Yummy!</span></div>

We were both open to suggestions as we glanced at the cocktail menu. Jeffrey explained to us that he and Roberto (the GM) had created the cocktails on this menu- and creative they were. You'll find about a dozen or so unique concoctions here. The Sweet Carolina caught me eye. This consisted of Domaine Canton, Chambord, cranberry juice and topped with Cabernet Sauvignon.</span></span><br />

pleasure of attending a pre-opening tour of the latest Whole Foods store

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">My second new BocaFoodFind this week brought me to the Town Center Mall here in Boca Raton. This is a first in the 5 plus years that I've been writing reviews that I have actually reviewed a restaurant that was located in a mall's Food Court, but there's a first for everything, isn't there?!?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The Shrimp House, with 6 locations in the U.S., all here in South Florida, originated in Brazil over 30 years ago. The concept: serve delicious shrimp, seafood and pasta meals at reasonable prices - has developed into one of Latin America's fastest growing chains. They are located in malls throughout Latin America and now, having expanded into the U.S. market, opened their first location in the Coral Square Mall in Coral Springs in December of 2013. Their plans are aggressive, with a goal of opening up a total of 98 locations in the next couple of years.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Although 80 percent of the items on the menu are shrimp dishes, The Shrimp House also offers salmon, cod, trout, tuna and other fare from the sea prepared in traditional Brazilian, Chinese and Thai styles.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This Shrimp House at the Town Center Mall in Boca and the one at the Coral Square Mall are the only two locations that offer a VIP dining area where patrons can enjoy a sit-down dining experience. Here, guests are served their meals on china plates with real silverware and glasses (compared to the plastic stuff people typically get at a food court). Courteous waiters and waitresses are there to serve the guests while they relax and enjoy a beer, wine, or even an original "sakerinha".</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The VIP dining area is available for private group functions and can seat up to 36 people and has multiple built in flat screen tvs/microphones with skyping capabilities. There is no minimum food & beverage and is available to reserve with a minimum of 10 people. Contact Marketing Director Felipe Braun at fbraun@oxfordusa.com or 561-674-9999 for information on booking the room for private parties or corporate functions.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello Foodie Friends,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This week, I had the pleasure of dining at the new SanTo's Modern American Buffet & Sushi Restaurant that recently opened up in Boca Raton in the former Gary Woo's location. Boy what a makeover this place received. The new interior was bright, open and inviting. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">SanTo's extensive buffet combines traditional sushi and modern American flavors with innovative twists. The buffet is easy to navigate and is laid out in sections which include Sushi & Sashimi, Grill & Carving station, Raw Bar, Hot Entrees, Salad Bar, Soups and Desserts. There is certainly something for everyone here at SanTo's with </span><span style="font-size: large;">more than 120 varieties of sushi, sashimi, grilled steaks, salads, ceviches, and a variety of dishes from cuisines around the world on their buffet. And the price? What a value! With weekday lunches just $12.95/ weekend $16.95 and weeknight dinners just $20.95 / weekend $23.95, I don't know how they do it, especially with the quality of the product they're putting out. Well, one thing's for sure, I have now found my go-to place for a quick and tasty sushi fix.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello Foodie Friends,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This review had my favorite foodie partner Shaina & I traveling up to Palm Beach, to the Island itself. You all know by now how dedicated we are in our endless pursuit for awesome FoodFinds and we never let a little thing like distance keep us from experiencing them! We often are invited to review newly opened restaurants or ones that have recently added new menu items. Neither was the case at this well known Palm Beach establishment. Rich in history (Built in 1947), the Colony Hotel in Palm Beach was brimming with opulence that one has come to associate and expect to find in Palm Beach. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">We arrived for our 6:30pm dinner reservation and were offered our choice of dining inside or al fresco. It was a lovely evening, so we chose the latter. On our way to the outside patio we passed a table with a large wheel of cheese and basket of crackers. We had been told that a cheese wheel is available for guests of the hotel and restaurant every Sunday through Thursday. On this particular evening they put out a Primadonna, which we were told was a blend of cheddar and Parmesan. Shaina and I both had no problem detecting the cheddar, but we both agreed we didn't quite pick up the typical Parmesan notes. But we were not complaining one bit and went back up for seconds! The napkin below is what we found at the cheese table. Cute!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Let me tell you that the staff here at Polo Steaks & Seafood are ALL outstanding. In addition to our wonderful server Fili from Guatemala, we were visited throughout the evening by Maurice, the Restaurant Manager who has been with the Colony Hotel for 10 years, Executive Chef Stephen Darling, who has been working there for 15 years along with his Assistant Chef, Mylene, who happens to also be his wife, there for 7 years. We met Miller the Restaurant Captain and also Michael Madden, the Maitre D who hails from just outside of Belfast Ireland. More on a few of these folks in just a bit...</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I decided to start the evening off with a Malbec Reserva and Shaina opted for a Pinot Gris. Both were excellent. In looking over the menu, the first item to jump out at us was the Cauliflower Steak. This dish was composed of a thickly cut cauliflower that had been grilled and topped with a white bean ragout. The seasoning was spot on and included some fresh cilantro from the garden and a little bit of truffle oil for good measure. Yum! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"> We decided to split another appetizer, the Roasted Beet and Goat Cheese Salad, something that we both enjoy and usually opt for when we see it on a menu. This one was so beautifully plated and came garnished with an edible flower straight from their garden. It's so pretty, don't you think?</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> For our entrees, I ordered the Chilean Sea Bass which came with Jasmine rice and a vegetable medley, but I had requested the fresh asparagus with Hollandaise sauce instead. They were only too happy to accommodate. Shaina ordered the Diver Scallops and they came with a Saffron Risotto. Both entrees were seasoned and cooked to perfection.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> The pool you see in the background was originally the shape of the state of Florida. After one of the hotel's renovations, however, the "Panhandle" had been curtailed to make room for more dining space. But you can get the idea when you take in the whole pool what this would have looked like.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Shaina and I had the opportunity to walk the grounds with Executive Chef Stephen and Asst Chef Mylene. Stephen and Mylene, a husband and wife team, met there at The Colony. Their passion for cooking with fresh herbs and vegetables eventually led to their creating an on-premise garden. Stephen handling the physical construction of the beds and such and Mylene tending to the the tlc and harvesting. The garden has been growing now for two years and is a beautiful addition to the property. Be sure to ask for a tour when you're there. They will gladly and proudly accommodate your request.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Polo Steaks & Seafood offers a brunch on Sundays on the patio from 11am - 3pm. I am looking forward to coming back to experience this for sure. After dinner we were invited in to take a little peek at John Pizzarelli and his Quartet who were performing in the Cabaret Room to a packed house. Apparently they were sold out solid all four nights they were scheduled to perform there.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">All in all, one of the best nights we've had in a long time. The staff were all genuinely friendly and engaging and provided exceptional service; the food was 5 Star and the ambiance was old Palm Beach with all its charm, straight out of the Kennedy era. Well worth the trip up from Boca.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello Foodie Friends,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In honor of Madison's 1 year anniversary, I was invited to experience some of their newest creations executed under the direction of their new renowned Executive Chef Alex Polimenakos, who has been featured as the personal chef for the Kardashian family on the hit E! series, Kim & Kourtney Take Miami.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Now you may recall, I had reviewed Madison's back in September when I went there with Shaina. Here's that <a href="http://bocafoodfinds.blogspot.com/2014/09/madisons-ny-grill-bar-in-boca-raton-fl.html" target="_blank">review</a>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Although there's a new Chef in town with some exciting new additions to the menu, when one sets out to dine at Madison's, the one thing that they can count on is excellent food and service- that much has not changed! Guests can indulge in a flavorful array of freshly-made appetizers, salads, meat & seafood specialties. Some of the new stand out appetizers include the seasoned and fire-grilled <b>Mediterranean Eggplant</b>, topped with beefsteak tomatoes, baby arugula tossed in a vinaigrette dressing with almond-crusted goat cheese and drizzled with evoo & balsamic glaze; and the <b>Mediterranean Octopus</b> served with grape tomatoes, capers, castelvetrano olives, fresh herbs and a touch of lemon olive oil oregano drizzle. (Pictured below)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The octopus was perfectly cooked with a nice char, although a little on the salty side for me from the capers and olives. But leave it to Manager Charlie for selecting such an awesome Chardonnay pairing to counter act the saltiness of this dish.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Our second dish, although it was not a new menu item, is a favorite amongst Madison's regulars and with good reason. This blackened & seared tuna went so well with the Riesling that was selected to pair with it.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Madison's main course offerings include several new meal salad additions: <b>Beet Carpaccio Salad</b> topped with fennel and baby arugula salad tossed in a light vinaigrette dressing with sesame crusted goats cheese and hand-filleted orange segments; <b>Manhattan Salad</b> which features Madison's mix of greens tossed in homemade ginger-lime dressing and herbed quinoa topped with mango chutney with the option to add salmon or seared tuna; <b>Madison's Chopped Salad</b> which features Madison's mix of greens, tomatoes, cucumbers and chicken topped with blue cheese crumbles, boiled egg, garbanzo beans, avocado and cranberries tossed in a red wine and olive oil dressing. We shared the Beet Salad & the Chopped Salad and Charlie had paired a nice Rose with these dishes. The rose paired especially well I thought with the goat cheese, beet and orange.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello Foodie Friends,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Today's review is of DaVinci's of Boca Raton.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">DaVinci's, a family owned restaurant, is located in the Town Center Mall in the former Legal Seafood spot, next to Nordstrom. They just opened a few months ago and I was very excited to check it out with my friend and fellow food blogger Shaina, from <a href="http://takeabiteoutofboca.com/" target="_blank">Take A Bite Out of Boca. </a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: brandon-grotesque-1; line-height: 32px;"><span style="font-size: large;">DaVinci's of Boca is owned by the Carvelli family (who also own the successful Ristorante DaVinci in Marco Island) with </span></span><span style="font-family: brandon-grotesque-1; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 32px;">classic Italian specialties and innovative creations by Chefs</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: brandon-grotesque-1; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 32px;">Francesco Carvelli and Chris DeGenova. </span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: brandon-grotesque-1; line-height: 32px;"><span style="font-size: large;"> Originally from Mesoraca, Italy, the family recreates the warmth, hospitality, fine food and drinks reminiscent of their childhoods back in Italy. </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: brandon-grotesque-1; line-height: 32px;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: brandon-grotesque-1; line-height: 32px;"><span style="font-size: large;">Italians love to entertain and according to DaVinci's Co-Owner & GM, Luigi Carvelli, that's what his family is all about. When you step through the door, you feel the warmth of the restaurant. They chose a lot of earthy colors and a lot of stone. Guests will feel right at home in the environment they have proudly created. </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: brandon-grotesque-1; font-size: large; line-height: 32px;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: brandon-grotesque-1; font-size: large; line-height: 32px;">Shaina and I began our night at the beautiful outdoor bar, a 60' bar which extends both inside and outside. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: brandon-grotesque-1; font-size: large; line-height: 32px;">Like the kitchen, the bar focuses on fresh ingredients and the friendly and helpful bartenders are serving up some unique & modern concoctions as well as some timeless classics.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: brandon-grotesque-1; font-size: large; line-height: 32px;"> I tried the Wild Berry Mojito made with Flor de Cana Extra-Dry Rum, Fresh Mint, Lime Juice and Fresh Berries. Shaina ordered the Fall Light, which was made with Grey Goose Pear Vodka, St. Germain, Grapefruit Juice, Peach Bitters and Zardetto Prosecco. We both enjoyed our cocktails very much.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: brandon-grotesque-1; line-height: 32px;"><span style="font-size: large;">We then moved inside to the main dining room to enjoy our dinner. The menu is thoughtfully divided into two sections; the classico, which consists of recipes that have been in their family for generations and the moderno, which consist of recipes that their chefs are developing every day. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The first arrival to our table was a warm bread basket accompanied by a trio of dipping sauces - eggplant caponata, extra virgin olive oil with aged balsamic imported from Italy, Mascarpone with lemon zest & thyme. Our taste buds were off to a great start!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Under the Antipasti section of the dinner menu under the Moderno selections, you will find the Polipo Grigliato al Salmoriglio, aka Octopus. If you enjoy octopus as much as Shaina and I do, you will definitely want to try this version. It's served chilled and flavored with l</span><span style="font-size: large;">emon, olive oil, </span><span style="font-size: large;">parsley, potatoes, peppers, arugula and </span><span style="font-size: large;">pepperoncino.</span><br />

</tbody></table>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Another antipasti I tried, under the classico selection, was the house-made mozzarella stuffed w/prosciutto, roasted peppers, arugula w/tomato bacon jam & balsamic reduction. (Although I would go out on a limb and say that this could easily cross over to the moderno section, because the tomato bacon jam was ridiculously good and definitely a twist on the classic mozzarella caprese).</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The Pappardelle con Porcini e Tartufo and the Chilean Sea Bass came out next. If you have been reading my posts, than you know that anything with truffle in the title is going to get Shaina and my interest. We both also happen to love pappardelle so when we saw this dish on the moderno side of the menu, we were all over that! The pappardelle was cooked perfectly and the porcini, asparagus tips, shaved black truffles and light cream sauce married so perfectly together. Our taste buds were now beginning to party in our mouths.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Chilean Sea Bass is my favorite fish and whenever I see that on a menu at a fine dining establishment, I am tempted to give it a try. When our server, Michael, announced this particular version of sea bass as one of their specials of the night, we were both on board for trying it out. The sea bass was served on a bed of squid ink risotto and drizzled with a saffron cream sauce. Delicioso! Into wine??DaVinci's has a great selection of red and white wines from their 3,000 bottle cellar. I enjoyed a lovely baby Amarone during dinner. </span><br /><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello Foodie Friends,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Today I am pleased to share with you my latest Boca Food Find, Out of Denmark. I was recently invited to attend a media dinner here, although they have been open (re-open) for about a year now. You see, there's a little bit of history about Out of Denmark that you must know in order to fully appreciate where they are today. According to Jorgen Moller, Sr. his family has served an estimated 4 million guests since opening their first restaurant, Prince Hamlet in Miami in 1969.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"> Jorgen took a seat at our table and was forthright with tales of his family's legacy, where they had been, the charities they have served and the steps they take to ensure they are converting visitors to loyal customers, one phone call at a time. That's right, Out of Denmark takes customers' comments very seriously and someone from the restaurant calls each guest the very next day to get their candid feedback on their dining experience. Jorgen says that most people won't give their honest opinion to the owner or Manager, so they decided to take this unique approach. In a time when everything is trending towards technology, it's nice to know that someone still holds on to old fashioned, time-tested tactics like picking up a phone to actually speak to their customers and mailing out postcards to each of their guests.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Shortly after I was seated, our server Kate greeted me warmly and took my drink order. (I had a nice Sauvignon Blanc, in case you care to know that little tidbit.) I thought it'd pair nicely with the gravlax that sat King of the Mountain atop a 3 tiered appetizer tower known as a Koldt Bord. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large; text-align: start;">What they're doing here has become their signature trade mark, as they have been doing this for years. I say, why break tradition?!? I'm glad they agree! They have created what they call a table top buffet, comprising of items that they know their clients really like. The gravlax is a popular and tasty item there. They make their own cured salmon, pickled herring, a European cucumber salad, a spinach dip - all things that one would normally pay extra for are brought to each table at no extra charge. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small; text-align: start;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large; text-align: start;">Jorgen and his son Christian re-opened Out of Denmark last year after a brief hiatus from the business when Jorgen left to care for his wife who, unfortunately lost her battle to cancer. The father-son team agreed that immersing themselves back into the business and doing what they both loved, was the best medicine of all. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small; text-align: start;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: xx-small; text-align: start;"><span style="font-size: large;"> Chef Christian is no stranger to the kitchen. According to his father, Christian, now in his 40's, has a long history of cooking; at the ripe old age of 7 he was standing on a milk crate behind the line and putting food on the plate.</span></span></td></tr>

How do I keep going out, night after night and eat like this and then on top of all the yummy food, there's not one, not two, but three desserts to sample on this night. Ay yay hay!

I do it all for you, my dedicated fans. (Let's see if anyone is actually reading this. If that's you (no not you, mom), then make a little comment below this post for me.)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello Foodies,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">'Tis I again, your dedicated foodie friend eating my way around South Florida to share with you my fabulous food finds. Today's blog post highlights Benny's on the Beach in Lake Worth. I was invited to attend a special Seafood Bake & viewing party in honor of Benny's Chef/Partner Jeremy Hanlon and his debut on The Food Network's "Beat Bobby Flay". This was not Chef Jeremy's first time on The Food Network though, he has previously appeared on Chopped. So the invites were sent out and guests arrived to experience what became the kick off of Thursday night Seafood Bake at Benny's on the Beach. </span></div>

The food is locally sourced, with an emphasis on quality in an elegant, comfortable setting. The cuisine showcases both classic comfort faves as well as modern interpretations of a bistro menu. La Ferme also features an extensive wine list, with a focus on boutique vineyards, beers from local and international micro-breweries and a craft cocktail list.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">My friend Shaina and I were seated in the main dining room on this evening. Brought to our table shortly after our cocktails was an unexpected surprise of an Amuse Bouche of Lobster Consomme. This hearty little cup of deliciousness was packed with flavor and warmed our tummies, leaving us with a feeling as if we had just been hugged from the inside. The description we were provided was that it contained salmon, scallop mousse dumpling, Shiitake
mushrooms, cilantro and truffle oil. To be honest, I'm not quite sure where the namesake lobster was in this dish, lol, but it was quite tasty. This dish can be ordered as a soup starter.</span><br />

You should definitely try this one!</span><br />

It was topped with a mustard aioli, capers and tendrils and served with a buttered layered pumpernickel bread. This was not only a beautifully plated dish, but one that made my taste buds sing. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">We decided to try a couple different types of oysters, both from Washington state. The larger ones were the Shikoku and the smaller ones were the Kumamoto. The west coast estuaries have more fresh water hence provide more minerals which tends to give it a subtle melon flavor. While both oysters were good, we both agreed that we liked the Kumamotos the best.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Shaina enjoys mussels and decided to give these Thai Coconut Curry ones a try. Although I am not much of a mussel fan, I am a fan of Thai Coconut Curry so just the name intrigued me enough to ask for a bite. Not only was the broth A-Mazing, but the mussels were big and meaty and not over cooked or "rubbery"which is my usual gripe with mussels. These mussels were harvested by the de Koning family from ME. I would highly recommend you give these a try too!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Earlier this week I was invited to dine at Mussel Beach right in the heart of Downtown Delray, on the corner of 5th & Atlantic Avenue. Now, I've passed by there a gazillion times, but hadn't been in there until now.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It is with great pleasure that I bring to you today my review of Bruce's of Great Neck in West Boca, in the Boca Greens Shopping Plaza on 441, just north of Kimberly Rd. and south of Yamato. Now, even though Bruce's has been open for a little over a year now, it's still brand new new me, so bear with me while I sing its praises if you are one of the clever ones out there reading this who have already discovered this wonderful gem of a place.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Everything is baked fresh on premise and each table is given this beautiful assortment on the house, upon being seated.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">On this day, I got to sample some new menu items which consisted of their cinnamon and chocolate Bobka French Toast, something I never had before but fell in love with and will now undoubtedly be back for again and again...</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Bruce Zipes founded Bruce's of Great Neck back in 1976 in Long Island NY. What started out strictly as a high quality bakery for many years, eventually expanded into a full service one-of-a-kind restaurant where one could not only get the traditional Jewish fare they were accustomed to, but other specialties such as gourmet paninis and savory omelettes were being served there as well. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Bruce has made quite a name for himself in his home town where he was was deeply committed to serving his community; whether donating a dinner for 100 returning Gulf War veterans and their wives, making a road more attractive in Great Neck, being a major sponsor for the Great Neck Art Center or making daily donations to senior citizen group homes or soup kitchens. Bruce was honored to be the recipient of the Giraffe Award, Great Neck's most prestigious award for continued outstanding community service. As former President George Bush Sr. said in his letter of commendation to Bruce's: "You are to be commended for your spirit and deep involvement in your community. Our Nation thrives on civic pride and you are a local institution that Great Neck (and now Boca) can be proud of!"</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

He has also won the prestigious award from the Metro Channels "NY Eats" for the best challah in New York City. Write ups have also appeared in several publications including Newsday and the NY Post to name a few. Over the years, Bruce has been proud to be associated with hundreds of celebrities and luminaries from all walks of life.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Some of Bruce's highlights:</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I was recently invited to dine at the new Bravo! Harbourside in Jupiter so I decided to bring my good friend Sharon along with me for brunch this past Sunday. Although this took me out of my usual Boca/Delray stomping ground, the 45 minute leisurely drive was well worth it!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-size: large;">The
beautiful new 7,098-square-foot Jupiter restaurant offers indoor seating for 239
guests (including 28 bar seats), and al fresco dining for up to 36 (including
six bar seats) on an Italian-style terrace. A semi-private dining area will
accommodate groups up to 20 guests. BRAVO! faces the Intracoastal Waterway,
which allows the restaurant to provide dockside carryout service. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">To get us in the brunching mood, we kicked it off with a Bloody Mary for me and a nice refreshing glass of white wine for Sharon. After a brief glance of the menu, we asked our server Chase for his recommendation. He did not hesitate to suggest the stuffed French toast. The Berries & Cream French Toast was made by stuffing two perfectly battered and browned pieces of bread with sweet cream cheese, honey and cinnamon and topped with a fresh berry compote. It came with a side of Applewood bacon, which Sharon and I agreed was the best cooked bacon that both of us had ever remember having. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">For our next tasting, we chose the Open-Faced Biscuit Sandwich which consisted of two over-easy cage free eggs, house made </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">biscuit, marinated tomatoes, arugula, spicy candied bacon, cheese, green onion mayo and served with a drizzle of spicy Sriracha over the top. Now those of you who have been following my posts for some time know that I'm kind of a wimp when it comes to spicy/hot things, but I have been working on "toughening up" my taste buds and it seems to have paid off. I took that sandwich down with nary a need for an extinguisher. LOL. The sandwich was very creative and well executed and we loved every bite of it.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Next, I wanted to try the Lobster Bisque. I'm a huge fan of this soup so whenever I see it on a menu, I am tempted to give it a try. This one ranked up there on my list of all time favorites. They seemed to hit the mark with this one. It had the perfect viscosity and balance of sherry, cream and chunks of lobster meat. So yummy. I have to mention that every dish that was brought out to us was served at the optimum temperature, something we both were impressed by.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">While we were enjoying our brunch, Manager Lindsay had come by to check on us and asked if it would be alright for the Chef to prepare a couple signature dishes for us to try. Of course we said yes. Sous Chef Jon came over to our table and presented what he said was the House favorite; a Balsamic Glazed Chicken served on a bed of orzo/faro pilaf with artichokes, fresh basil, Kalamata olives, garbanzo beans, tomatoes and Feta, with grilled asparagus.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The second dish Chef Jon brought out for us was his personal choice: the Bravo! Classic Grilled Pork Chop. A thick glazed chop topped with an herb butter sauce and served with seasonal vegetables and Tuscan mashed potatoes.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Both of these dishes could be found on their dinner menu and were excellent, but they were just too heavy for us to have more than a bite or two after all the other food we just ate. Which meant we got to take home leftovers for dinner!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I could have finished right there, but was convinced by Sharon, that we had to round out this amazing brunch by trying at least one of their desserts. My belly reluctantly agreed and out came Chase with not one, but two trays of freshly prepared dessert options. We chose the Warm Chocolate Cake, a rich chocolate "molten lava like" cake with a warm center oozing out served with a scoop of vanilla bean gelato. The cake was moist with just the right density. It had the perfect amount of sweetness. It really was an exceptional dessert. Heavenly!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">By this time, our To Go containers arrived with our left over pork chop and chicken dishes and Sharon took one look at these branded containers and went gaga. It's not every day that one sees take out containers that have the business's logo etched into the container. Yes, logos on the bags or boxes, but this seemed to be unique. This attention to detail was just the icing on the cake so to speak, that exemplified the kind of service that the folks behind Bravo! put forth and what really sets them aside and puts them at the top of their game, if you ask me. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello Foodie Friends, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Today's Boca Food Find is Nick's New Haven Style Pizzeria & Bar.</span> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<span style="background-color: white; color: #292929; font-family: 'Whitney A', 'Whitney B'; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px;">Now, there is pizza, and then there is apizza, </span><strong style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292929; font-family: 'Whitney A', 'Whitney B'; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">New Haven-style pizza</strong><span style="background-color: white; color: #292929; font-family: 'Whitney A', 'Whitney B'; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px;"> is the latter; a hotter, crispier, and dirtier descendant of Neapolitan style pie. What ribs are to Kansas City, cheesesteak to Philadelphia, and crabcakes to Baltimore, pizza is to New Haven. So how did Connecticut's second largest city become ground zero for some of the best pizza in the United States? And just what is New Haven-style pizza exactly?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292929; font-family: 'Whitney A', 'Whitney B'; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
At the turn of the twentieth century, New Haven became a popular town for Italian families who settled in the United States in neighborhoods such as Wooster Square bringing with them palates that appreciated the thin-crusted Neapolitan style pizza of their homeland.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292929; font-family: 'Whitney A', 'Whitney B'; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
What makes New Haven-style pizza so unique and sets it apart from the other styles is its signature charred, thin-crusted, crispy and chewy pies that use the perfect balance of sauce, cheese and toppings throughout.</div>
<h4 style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292929; font-family: GloberBold; font-size: 18px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 27px; margin: 1.33em 0px;">
First you must get the lingo and the pronunciation right; It's apizza, <span style="font-family: 'Whitney A', 'Whitney B';">(pronounced a-BEETS)</span> not pizza. <span style="font-family: 'Whitney A', 'Whitney B';">The word "apizza" is itself a distinguishing characteristic of New Haven. The "a" is a harbinger of the Italian dialect spoken in the Naples region.</span></h4>

Coal: <span style="font-family: 'Whitney A', 'Whitney B';">In the twenties and thirties coal was abundant and cheap. It is also responsible for the blistered, sooty, and smoke-imbued flavor of the pies at Nick's, whos brick oven is coal fired and cooks at an excess of 750 degrees, creating a darker crust which they call "charred" or "done well".</span></h4>

A long, cold fermentation: <span style="font-family: 'Whitney A', 'Whitney B';">New Haven-style pizza dough relies on a longer fermentation than that of its quick rise New York style pizza neighbor. Allowing the dough to proof more slowly over the course of an overnight refrigeration, in combination with letting the dough come to room temperature before shaping and baking, allows for a much more nuanced flavor and chewy crust.</span></h4>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Whitney A, Whitney B; font-size: large;">Now, although I have had my share of pizzas over the years representing different styles, I would not claim to be a pizza aficionado by any means. All I know is that the pizza I like best is crispy but not burnt and can hold up to the toppings placed upon it without making it soggy and droopy. That's it, I'm not asking for a whole lot, am I? </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Whitney A, Whitney B; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Whitney A, Whitney B; font-size: large;">So when my friend Shaina asked me to join her at Nick's, I was excited because I had not yet been there. We started out with the Escarole & Beans which we both thought were excellent. Perfectly seasoned with the right amount of oil and acidity.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"> They had a section on their menu dedicated to bruschettas, which we both thought was really cool. An order comes with 3 or 5 pieces of toasted rustic bread that has been rubbed with garlic oil and topped with your choice of any three toppings from the following categories: Marinated, Cured & Cheeses. We chose to top ours with tomatoes, eggplant and shaved Parmesan cheese. This was one of my faves of the evening.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> Because there were were both apizzas and pizza flats on the menu, we decided we had to try both, so we could make the comparison for you. So here's my take on it. Of the two apizzas we had, the roasted garlic, spinach, mozzarella & tomato and the roasted pepper & caramelized onion, I enjoyed the one with the spinach the best. It held up to my crispy test the best. The second one didn't hold up quite as well, although it was tasty, the toppings made it a bit too soggy for my liking.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">A visit to a Nick's New Haven Style Pizzeria & Bar would not be complete without at least trying their signature white clam pizza (either on their traditional apizza or on their pizza flat). If you are a lover of clams, this combination will certainly not disappoint. Made with Parmesan, cherry peppers, lemon and garlic. Our white clam pizza flat was very flavorful and perfectly crispy and most importantly, it stood up to my test with flying colors.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">My friends and I went in to check the place out this past Thursday night and I am excited to share with you my wonderful experience. But first, here's a little parking tip. There is valet parking across the street by Rocco's Tacos for $10, but we happened to find the parking garage just literally around the corner which cost us just $3 for 3 hours. Yes, we indulged for 3 hours! LOL</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Okay, so now on to the indulging part...the Grade A Ahi Tuna we sampled was THE BEST tuna sashimi I have EVER had! It was SO fresh and the sauce they used to marinate the tuna in was extremely flavorful. (This item is not yet a staple on their menu, and was served as a special for our table on this night, but...I am hoping that they will soon make it one!)</span></div>

The burnt baba ghanoush was delicious and the crispy chick peas, well I was popping them into my mouth like they were bar nuts. Couldn't get enough. My friends and I all agreed that the Calamari Fries were so unique. We never had anything like them and we really enjoyed the dipping sauces served with them too.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">Hello Foodie Friends,</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">Tis I, once again, out and about in Boca discovering new Food Finds so that I can report back to you all my latest delicious discoveries. This past week I have been a busy girl with 3 invites to preview new restaurants. The first one I will be discussing in this post is Merlino's, located in Downtown Boca in the former Segreto, former Capri location. The new owners decided to knock down the private room in the back and opted to expand the bar to become a central focal/gathering point of the restaurant where unique specialty hand crafted cocktails are already getting high accolades. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">Merlino's has assembled a fine team. Guiding Merlino’s is
legendary restaurant manager John Wyner. His reputation in the South
Florida restaurant industry is impressive having successfully run one of Boca
Raton’s top steakhouses for many years. Wyner has had long history in the
hospitality world starting back on the Boardwalk at Atlantic City. He
went from shucking oysters on the boardwalk to becoming a Director of the
Atlantic City Hilton where he managed and developed a staff of 1,500 employees
in all areas of the hotel operation. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">Merlino’s Manager Lee
Hoechstetter is considered a Beverage Scientist whose signature cocktails I had a chance to taste (well not all of them, of course, but several which I will describe to you below) on this evening and I can tell you with confidence that you will be blown away by them. “I’ve designed cocktails that customers will remember
forever. We are only using the freshest ingredients and are creating a
true supper club. Our patrons will enjoy a fine dining experience and
then join us at the bar for a dazzling display of drinks.” </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Merlino's chefs are extremely passionate about what they're doing on a daily basis; "cooking is not what we do to make a living, it is what we live to do." That's kind of like my motto: I live to eat, as compared to the alternative that I always heard my father say, when I was growing up, that he eats to live.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The LCB Line is made with Woodford Reserve, a top shelf bourbon, Luxardo Marachino liquor, homemade simple syrup (basil, coriander, mint & two types of sugar) and garnished with a spear of imported marachino cherries. As if that wasn't already a really cool drink, Lee decided to take it up yet another notch by toasting a marshmallow right in front of us and set the charred pillow right on top to garnish. Lee suggests that you move the garnish around, enabling the char to soak up some of the pungentness of the bourbon. I have to admit, I would never ordinarily order a bourbon drink, it's just not my thang, but...with such a fun display, I was tempted. And wouldn't you know it, he was right. That char from the toasted marshmallow really toned it down and mellowed it out. Not bad, not bad at all. It's like a toasted marshmallow Manhattan.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">What a cool presentation this Cucumber Addiction was. Now, with an ingredient like Scotch Bonnet in its name, I was less than eager to give it a try because we have grown such peppers at home and I know they are the hottest of the hot and yours truly, as some of you might recall, has very little tolerance for heat. I was assured by Lee that the injection was really not hot which meant I had the green light to give it a go. I love the interactive part of this cocktail. I was instructed to take the little syringe which contained the Scotch Bonnet simple syrup, inject it into the cocktail and then use it to stir the drink. How fun. The dark powder "substance" on the plate next to the syringe is smoked paprika which I was told to sprinkle some of that directly into the drink. This was a fun, whimsical and well thought out cocktail and highly enjoyable to drink as well.</span></div>

Once we sat down for dinner, the specialty cocktails did not stop. I was asked what I'd like to have and with very little hesitation, I asked if he could make me a Moscow Mule. Again, continuing to impress me, Lee belted out proudly, "I'll do you one better, I will make you one with homemade Ginger Beer (not all bars carry Ginger Beer, the canned kind, let alone would have the know-how to make it from scratch. Kudos to Lee). My Moscow Mule with the crystalized ginger garnish was fantastic!<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I was recently invited to dine at Moran's Italian Bistro & Brick Oven in Lake Worth. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpQbampD5tC_a38Tecz20SGrEot1sQ-Aar7LYiSjvEtGOC2cH1zo_Wnljg7LAPYrniRPF8EPTpwGVZa79SkFShV6967YhIRPiMmLIx-60mjR182Q-HvAH7tzWL_UFoRKzOEGrftyZnmwVm/s1600/photo+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpQbampD5tC_a38Tecz20SGrEot1sQ-Aar7LYiSjvEtGOC2cH1zo_Wnljg7LAPYrniRPF8EPTpwGVZa79SkFShV6967YhIRPiMmLIx-60mjR182Q-HvAH7tzWL_UFoRKzOEGrftyZnmwVm/s1600/photo+1.JPG" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Morans’ story is unique. It is owned by Dr. Robert Moran, an addiction specialist who owns and operates Wellington Retreat, a psychiatric and addictions treatment center. Dr. Moran believes in new beginnings, and uses Moran’s as a way to help create them. Unlike many other places, Moran’s employs people in recovery who are currently in transitional living situations. Several of their employees are in recovery and have come very far, and they are proud of them. Moran's has taken a bold step to turn away the extra profits that would come from the sale of beer and wine and chooses not to serve any alcohol, providing a safe place for those in recovery to eat and hang out. Moran’s serves pasta dishes, burgers, sandwiches and of course brick oven pizza. </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">On the evening that my friend Shaina and I arrived, we were greeted by Manager Jeff who asked us where we preferred to be seated. We followed him towards the back half of the restaurant which had been outfitted with comfortable looking couches and cocktail tables. It looked inviting, but we opted to sit in the main dining room area. We really didn't know what to expect. No one else was in the restaurant, which usually sends off a red flag. Still, we kept an open mind and began looking at the menu. Immediately our eyes opened wide and gravitated to the mushroom truffle pizza as well as the veggie one. Upon further investigation of the menu, we were intrigued by the beet salad and the shrimp scampi toasts- so it was decided, we'll try a little of each. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">The beet salad was soooooooo yummy! We both loved it. It came with endive, candied walnuts, gorgonzola, red onion and their homemade lemon truffle vinaigrette.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The shrimp scampi toasts are created with white wine, lemon, peas, prosciutto and toasted garlic. (Shaina's served sans the prosciutto). When I saw that on the menu it made me think of the shrimp scampi crostini I've had a Martorano's many years ago. Although the presentation was slightly different from Martorano's, the flavors were amazing. I really enjoyed this dish!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Now on to the flatbread pizzas. The pizzas are made in their wood fired oven which is in plain site for the guests to view. The veggie pizza is made with wheat dough and topped with zucchini, squash, red onions, artichoke pesto and topped with arugula salad. We both thought it was very good. Shaina especially enjoyed this one.</span></div>

Hello Foodie Friends, I had the great pleasure of attending this year's 2nd Annual Hess Select South Beach Seafood Chef Showdown event this past Friday at Lummus Park on South Beach. It was a battle between 11 restaurants in the categories of: Surf & Turf, Octopus, Lobster, Tuna and Fish. Despite the intermittent rain, a good time was had by all.

<span style="font-size: large;">The Office has a great selection of Signature Cocktails. The two they were featuring on this night were the <i>Pink Slip</i>, made with Kettle One Vodka, Grapefruit Juice, Pomegranate Liqueur, Agave Nectar with a Lemon Twist. The second was the <i>Coconut Cloud</i>, made with Vanilla Vodka, Malibu Rum, Coconut Milk, Pineapple Juice, Fresh Mint and Coconut Flakes. I have had the <i>Pink Slip </i>on occasion when we include them on our Savor Our City™ Culinary Tour and it is delicious, so on this night, I opted to try the <i>Coconut Cloud</i>. Doesn't it just sound like it's going to be delicious?!?</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"> Under the section titled "Go Green" two all natural salads were introduced; the House Salad is a </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">50/50 blend of Mixed Greens & Arugula and has Golden Raisins, Cashews, Asian Pear & Manchego and is tossed in a White Pear Balsamic Dressing. This combination was magical. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">The Tomato Burrata consisted of Mango Spears and Pickled Onions with a drizzle of Fig Infused Vinegar Basil Oil. I'm a big fan of Burrata and I'm a big fan of Mango, but I have to admit that I had never thought to pair the two. It was a creative combination that provided an interesting twist on a classic preparation. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">The next round of tastings we were presented with fell under the category of "Office Supplies". The three Appetizers were: Lobster Tacos: Yuzu Amarillo Ceviche, Bean & Mango Salsa, Shaved Radish and Microgreens served in a crispy homemade taco shell; </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The Fried Head Cheese is NOT at all what we (Shaina and I were expecting) and I would expect many of you might not be familiar with this item as well. So here goes...It's NOT Cheese, at ALL!! It's actually the byproduct of cooking an entire pig's head (you could use the head of other animals, but pig is the most popular), picking the skin off and setting it aside while continuing to make a stock with only the skull. Once the stock is ready, you pour some of the liquid over the cooked pork meat and cover and refrigerate so the gelatin in the stock gets firm and you get this meat jelly that people call Head Cheese. Chef Kelly's version came out fried and set atop a whole grain Dijon Remoulade Sauce and topped with a Corn & Fava Bean Hash and diced Apple and Baby Watercress. The presentation was beautiful and the taste...well, it was very interesting. I have to admit that I was starting to get full at this point and I didn't finish it, but the more I think about it, the more I think I would try it again. I hope if you are a pork fan that you will try it and let me know what you think about it.</span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Spaetzle, if you're not familiar with this, are a soft egg noodle or dumpling found in the cuisines of Germany and Austria regions. Although I do not know for sure how the Chef prepares the Spaetzle, I can surmise that the cooked pasta has been sauteed with the other ingredients because they were super flavorful. These other ingredients consisted of Corn Pickled Red Cabbage, Oyster Mushrooms, Brussels Sprouts and Pumpkin and topped with a Fried Egg. This was another "O"utstanding dish of the night. I hear they already serve this one on their Sunday Brunch menu, so you don't have to wait for the release of the new menu items if you want to get your hands (and mouth) on this one right away, and I'm sure you do. But leave room for this one- Miss Piggy Goes to Vermont. It was a perfect way to end the night. A nice balance of savory and sweet.</span></span><br />
