  1. everybody is a pizzaiolo these days. Can 't say I didn't know this was coming, for years. Glad to hear it's finally open. Congrats to Mr. Conte and staff.
  2. eh, I'm still there. Maybe I was on a break. I do take them from time to time, somebody has to walk the dog. Sorry the pizza and cod fritters were just acceptable. I would have liked the opportunity to show you some of the fun things we were offering, like the Western Bay oysters from just right up the road at the head of island, or some of the awesome produce coming off the farm out back behind the horse pasture. Thanks for coming by.
  3. I make my own corned beef hash. It's very good. First I make corned beef Next I slice some potato, thinly some yellow or sweet onion Sweet has always been the crowd favorite I use yellow Now cook everything together for a long time put a lid on it flip stuff over from time to time cook If you can flatten it into a pancake it's ready cool cook Corned Beef Hash pancakes until they are crispy
  4. Have you heard BXI? It's Ian Astbury singing with Japanese rockers, Boris.. So good. Oh, they also cover The Cult song "Rain", and Wata, the female guitarist from Boris sings it. So Great
  5. We will be open at least until Columbus day, possibly longer. If we can create enough interest with the locals, we will stay open Thurs-Sat all winter with a short break in the dead of it.
  6. Ok. I've been looking at, and listening to this website for the last hour. Thanks fer the trip down memory lane, Pool Boy! Drone, Doom, and Goth are winning presently..
  7. I'll be returning to Sweet Pea's for the second year of operations.. Some difficulties with staff cut our season short last year. That's all sorted now. sourdough pizze and small plates.. sound familiar? If yer in the neighborhood stop in and say hi. We saw a few DC people last year and that was cool. Heard we missed a few in the fall too. Sorry about that. Been spending plenty of time getting to know the wife, kids, and dog again. Also picked up a couple of Black and White kitties. Hiking and swimming will also be in order as soon as this snow melts and the lakes get warm. Thanks fer thinking about me!
  8. Hey all, Hope I am posting this in the right place. [You are, and congratulations! DR] Just wanted to drop a line and let you know I am in Maine, about 5 miles from the heart of Bar Harbor. We have opened a little restaurant - Sweet Pea's Cafe - in a beautiful setting, on a farm. Osprey have been nesting on the property. We have a pig named Kevin Bacon that we will probably not eat. Goat, chickens, guinea hen, ... We have our own oyster farm, we are calling them Western Bay Oysters, they may be available in DC area, I'm not sure, but they are quite good. Here's our Yelp! review. So.. Yeah, Alive and well. Hope some of you can come to MDI this summer, the government shutdown put a hurt on a lot of people last year and they/we could use your tourism $$. Much love! Hope to see you this summer! P.S. I have some pictures I can try to post if there is interest and I can find a couple minutes. Opening a restaurant is a lot of work! Peace!
  9. "Mosh Pit Paintings Capture The 'Barbaric Yawp' of New York Hardcore" by Keegan Hamilton on blogs.villagevoice.com ^amazing!!
  10. Lobster mac and cheese. Now availabe at longhorn steakhouse and at every shitty sysco supplied restaurant in Maine.. and, based on my recent experiences, hummus, and feta cheese.. bit of a culinary waste land around here..
  11. Looks like I'm going for Eater DC's longest comment thread ever.. Feel free to join in the fun!! http://dc.eater.com/archives/2013/06/20/chef-shuffles-74.php#reader_comments
  12. still haven't read the FAQ.. However, here is a quote from Pizzeria Salvo piuttosto che discernere su chi è bravo e chi no, su chi ha ragione e chi no, non si può far nulla in maniera sistemica affinché, come dice il buon Manuel Lombardi Le Campestre, i giovani avventori di oggi, clienti di domani, la smettano una volta e per tutte di chiedere "robaccia" tipo wurstel e patatine fritte? non si può far nulla tutti assieme per educare tutti al mangiare sano, affinché tutti, ma proprio tutti, sappiano finalmente distinguere autonomamente una pizza di qualità da una scadente? rather than discerning about who's good and who's not, about who is right and who does not, you can not do anything systemic in that, as the good Manuel Lombardi The Campestre, the young people of today, customers of tomorrow, stop once and for all to ask "crap" type sausages and fries? You can't do anything together to educate everyone to eat healthy, so that everyone, but everyone can finally distinguish themselves a pizza from a shoddy quality? (Translated by Bing)
  13. Thanks fer the really kind words. I'm gonna be up in Maine for sure. I've got a chef gig lined up at a tiny little restaurant in a tiny little fishing village, on the water. The biggest challenges will probably be finding the right vendors to deliver quality product so far downeast.. I'll post more details as they become clear to me.. Oh yeah, no pizza. (maybe some grilled flatbreads, maybe some Sicilian..really it's my decision to make) excited to start a new chapter, the story was getting old.
  14. http://www.forbes.com/sites/timmaurer/2013/06/20/7-reasons-i-dumped-facebook/ "Less is more. I’m on a mission to simplify life, to slow it down to a pace at which it can actually be consumed, not just tasted. I don’t want to hide behind the ubiquitous, “I’m really busy” as a badge of honor. I want a lower cost of living (not just financially) and a higher quality of life. I want to limit the number of [things] that compete for my attention so that I can apply more attention to those [things] I care the most about. Less is the new more." -Tim Maurer ^This speaks to me^ Tomorrow will be my last day at Range, and Saturday my last day in DC. It's been real and it's been fun, but.. you know the rest.. Moving on to a Lower cost of living, but I'll be back here from time to time. Thanks.
