  1. Tracy O’Grady is now the Executive chef at Green Pig.

    Quote

    As executive chef, O’Grady intends to put her personal stamp on the menu while respecting its roots. “It’s called Green Pig for a reason,” she says, alluding to the Clarendon bistro’s Southern-influenced concept, in which pork has long played a starring role. Signature dishes such as chicken & biscuits, buffalo pork ribs and burgers will remain, as will the cornbread (“It’s some of the best I’ve ever had,” she says).  But diners can also expect a few tweaks, including a some vegetarian options and more seafood dishes.

    ...
    The chef also plans to resurrect a few fan favorites from Willow, such as gazpacho and flatbreads.

    We went to China Wok last night, partly because I hadn't had Peking duck in a while, partly to support Chinese restaurants.  They are taking a beating from the coronavirus scare and business is off.  Sure enough the place was half empty when normally, on a Saturday night, it would be jammed.  Nonetheless, Peking duck was excellent as were our other 2 dishes, eggplant tofu casserole (not soggy - the eggplant and tofu held their structure and taste) and salt and pepper shrimp (big jumbo shrimp with light batter with American broccoli).

    Please support your local Chinese restaurants during the coronavirus crisis.

    Even Thai Square - usually packed on Thursday evenings, both for dine-in and carry-out, seemed rather empty when I was in there.

    Sounds like it was a good time for the dinner that Dean organized and describes above.

    I suspect both Px and Eamonn's had a common lease, or something close to that - they're closing the same day, and don't forget, you can walk from Px down a "secret staircase" to Eamonn's - it may be a single space, like Doi Moi and 2 Birds 1 Stone, or Destination Wedding, or whatever is there now.

    A sushi restaurant called the Handover opened in the Eamonn's location, and the PX space is a separate restaurant called King's Ransom (via Alexandria Now).

    Lost Dog Cafe, has always had a pretty decent selection of beers on tap, as well as bottled and seasonal beers to go. Not sure if there is a thread on this place, but I have been going here since the late 80s and happy to start one. The detailed descriptions of the beers are helpful too if one willing to try something on description alone.

    Food and pizzas are very good at the original (North Arlington) location, some of the off-shoots are hit-or-miss.

    Interesting(?) note on their website:

    Our team at Maialino Mare participates in a revenue share. We are a non-tipping restaurant.

    Aren't all of his restaurants run on the no tipping model? I know at least some are.
