On November 18, Bob’s Place Restaurant will host its Chef’s Table event from 7-10:30 p.m. In addition to the restaurant’s regular dinner service, Bob’s Place Executive Chef Jeff Eutsler will prepare an elegant dinner featuring specialties just for the evening.
The five-course dinner, paired with wine, will be made available to customers at a fixed price of $75 per person. The Chef will explain to the patrons how he prepared the menu items. He will be joined by Bob’s Place General Manager Gabriel Moroianu, a certified sommelier, who will explain the wine pairings.
Bob Manning, Owner, Bob’s Place Restaurant, said, “We look forward to celebrating the month with a special evening dedicated to the marriage of seasonal, exceptional food selections paired with wines that compliment and enhance each dish.”
Mr. Eutsler has prepared a special menu for November’s Chef’s Table event in which each course is paired with a compatible wine. These offerings are:
● Baby arugula salad in a crispy eggplant basket with goat cheese, pine nuts and a smoky roasted tomato vinaigrette, accompanied with a 2008 Fume Blanc Ferrari-Carano, Alexander Valley
● Alaskan wild salmon mousse baked in pastry with spinach, garnished with poached baby shrimp, baby scallops and Blue Point oysters in a tarragon veloute, accompanied with a 2007 Mouton Cadet Blanc, Bordeaux, France
● Lime granite with pickle pumpkin intermezzo
● Ale-braised beef short ribs with sweet potatoes and edamame hash, frizzled portabella mushrooms and braised leeks, accompanied with a 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon “Toro de Piedra,” Chile
● Warm berry crepe with rose ice cream and ginger snap crème anglaise, accompanied with a 2007 Moscato D’Asti, Ghione, Italy
“We specialize in New American cuisine, in which we put an international twist on traditional American dishes,” Mr. Eutsler said. “Our style of New American cuisine will continue to have Asian and Mediterranean overtones. Each dish is carefully prepared and presented, and consists of layered ingredients, flavors and textures.”
“When you see the name of the restaurant, you see an ordinary name and you think it’s an ordinary restaurant with ordinary food,” Mr. Manning added. “Here at Bob’s Place, the food is anything but ordinary. Our sumptuous food and top-notch service make the Chef’s Table event something worthwhile to attend.”
Up to 30 diners will be accommodated for each event. The restaurant is located at 230 Jericho Turnpike in Floral Park. For more information about the Chef’s Table event, call (516) 354-8185. Online reservations are also accepted at www.bobsplacerestaurant.com.
