Zengo, Outpost of Denver-Based Restaurant - Closed
brendanc replied to Joe H's topic in Washington DC Restaurants and Dining
Alan Yu, formerly of Cirtonelle and the Executive Cef of JG's 66 in New York,is the opening chef of Zengo. He is a friend, but also an great talent. He will pull off the Asian-Latin Mix with elegance, style and grace. I wish Alan and all the rest at Zengo good luck and think that after all the trendy white leather rotating table joints have been long shuttered Zengo will still be going strong. I usually don't plug for a "celebrity" outpost (see reference paulimoto) but Alan is good, I mean wicked good so there's my angle. -
got to this site www.dibruno.com what they don't have in stock, they can get for you.

I am also interviewing for a dining room manager and a pastry chef

I have to add my favorite. a friend and I have the same habit of saying good with a slight up and down nod and a higher inflection. This means not so good, and I know when a dish of mine needs tweaking.

oh yeah "Delicatessen"

Big Night is fantastic for a chef, I mean a fictional chef who won't forsake his vision, I love it. The "hot dog" exchange is particularly enjoyable. My wife yells at me every time I watch Mostly Martha when it comes on. When at Equinox the kitchen staff had a soft spot for Dinner Rush with Danny Aiello. Food, sex, murder and gambling (my favorite things, excepting the murder part).(the chives incident was a favorite)

My wife nearly wrecked our truck with the dog and kids in it, upon hearing that you can get your own "celebrity chef" kitchen designed by Todd Gray.

Doesn;t he back Morimoto in Philly? Morimoto opens soon in Tyson's maybe he's backing that venture. (strugggling to refrain from being glib about celeb chef's anbd their restaurants they don't work at)

That's cold, just cold man.

This one is for travelers only. The Green Door in Park Hall, Maryland just 1.6 miles North of St. Mary's College Campus is a classic. Woodstove that burns drunks who lean on it, check. Townie and College student tensions on a daily basis, check. Cheap, cheap, cheap beer, check. 10oz Budweisers to go at 2am, check. Smallish pool table too close to the wall, so you have to shoot like Kramer and Mr. Costanza, check. 37.5% chance of catching an STD from the bathroom alone, check. Flip for Foster's, where a Fosters draft is 50 cents but if you call the quarter in the air correctly, its free, check. Thin walls easily breakable, check. Good sand/gravel combination in the parking lot for quality landings when "excused", check. Good memories(fuzzy), check. Black rooster, not bad, but Fox and Hounds rates as the best in the DC limits, I always feel mungey when I leave. It is also a guarantee to find a current or former Equinox employee drinking there thursday-saturday

In a bold move, Don Rockwell and a team of barristas from a coffee shop in Clarendon decide to open a hip new lounge featuring French-Indian-Lower Freedonian fusion small plates. Small but not allowed to be shared with a 42 second time limit. The hit will be curried mini-bugers with truffled galangal "ketchup"

As a former resident of "the county"(that's St. Mary's)(it's where i started cooking in college) i haven't been down the county in some time. The fondest memories i have are eating the captains breakfast at Scheibel's in Ridge, taking a headboat out to fish and coming back to Courtney's @ the same marina and having a fried rockfish sandwich and a couple of ten ounce budweisers. That being said, the Broome Howard INnn caan be good if not very forward looking in it's cuisine, the Green Door just N of campus has five dollar pitchers and pizzas on Mondays, Evan's Seafood in Piney Point is always a hoot, CD Cafe in Solomon's, The Dry Dock in Solomon's and the best weekend is always in October, The St. Mary's Cpounty Oyster Festival I don't know the exact date this year, but if bivalves are your thing, this is the place to be. Bear in mind I haven't lived there in years and these reccommendations are subject to change.

Picture a happy couple riding out of town after a quick jaunt to see baby cheetahs at the zoo. They are eager to arrive at Italian Store for a Napoli and Capri and a nice deal on 2001 Barbaresco, the children are napping in the backseat.... "Isn't Cafe Milano nearby" she asks "Yes" he mutters "Why do people go there?" "I don't know" he starts to get annoyed "I mean, is the food amazing?" "I don't know" "Do they have a nice bar?" she persists "I don't know" he answers "A lot of famous people go there when they're in town, not that I really care about famous people, but what's the big deal?" "It must be the shoes" he says with finality

It was on the opening menu back in 1999 with a tower of heirloom tomatoes, frisee and truffle vinaigrette

St Mary's County includes cider vinegar with minced onion, a mignionette of sorts.

Bessin Chablis Vielle Vignes 2002 from UNwined in the Bradlee Shopping Center on King Street by the Quaker Lane crossroads, 14.99. Delicate, well balanced fruit, nuanced acidity with a very clean finish. Nice mineral base. At market Salamander I used to sell the Besssin Fourchaume, another great wine but for the price the 02 V.V. is a steal, I ordered a case.
