Update 1/26/10: The Bloomfield Ave. Starbucks closing was announced to staff today. Last lattes will be poured on 2/26/10. Starbucks' baristas on Bloomfield Avenue have been spilling the beans for a couple of weeks, and yes, the coffee shop is closing. That leaves Montclair with two corporate latte palaces. Their final brew date is not certain, but it will probably happen by March. Just this morning, a reader blogged about a random act of coffee kindness at this very location...Whole Foods manager Matt Hare has been cagey about how they intend to use the space (we're thinking a sit-down cafe) and sent us this statement: "Whole Foods Market Montclair is finalizing plans to acquire the space adjacent to our store due to the closing of its current occupant, Starbucks. Future plans are under development to expand our current Montclair location to include this space." Celebrity chef Ariane Duarte and husband Michael have finally expanded CulinAriane to accomodate the endless pilgrims trekking to this food Mecca. The softly lit room glows in a beautiful gold-ochre. Michael told us they are 50% bigger, accommodating 44 diners. Still, you'll need to book three weeks in advance to get a table. That is, unless you are a member of Orange Lawn Tennis Club, where, starting mid-February, Ariane and Michael will be spreading their culinary charm. "We started out last year as OLTC's exclusive caterer, and now they've invited us to take over the kitchen," says Michael. Now that's what I call a real kitchen revival...The club restaurant will be open to members four nights a week, and eventually OLTC may open it up to the public as a sort of dinner club. ]]> Red Mango. No, not open in Montclair, yet, but the anticipation is killing us. Red Mango Montclair opens in its dream Church Street location in about a month, once they complete the build-out and pass inspections, owner Elliot Bloom says. Bloom, a marathon runner was racing in California when he tasted his first Red Mango concoction - and it was love at first sip. We'll be telling you more (later) about the big opening party when you can grab a free drink, and see what all the hoopla is about. Until then, you'll have to go to Manhattan or Palisades Park. Even though this week we heard Cianci and Joe Bartoni's pretty much left without a trace, it's not all bad news around Valley Road. Across from Bartoni's, Nauna's owner Tommy Moloughny says "we're not going anywhere," and business is looking up for family-run Enzo's Pizzeria, which hopped two doors down into a bigger space. They've kicked it up a notch, going from takeout to casual dining. Table service! Enzo fans can eat in, and enjoy the homemade soups, pizza, pasta, and Italian specialties. Soon, they'll have an espresso bar and serve home made pastries, "like mama makes," says Alex...And moving into Enzo's old digs is California Chicken. A big sign is hanging in the window promising chicken every which way: "Fride," Grilled, Rotisserie, yum. The shelves are bare at Montclair's favorite cupcake store, Flour Patch. Owners Jason and Jeri say they're only closed temporarily and are in discussions with a wholesale partner in NYC. The goal is to re-open the Montclair sweet shop with a modified menu. Jason and Jeri expressed their gratitude to loyal customers: "please convey our sincerest appreciation to all the people in town who have supported Flour Patch...The Vietnamese place on Elm, Little Saigon, has disappeared, every last bit of it. The building, stripped bare to its concrete shell has a "For Lease" sign in the window. I'll bet the new neighbors across the street at 24 Elm are disappointed. Indigo Smoke in Montclair is closed for renovations. There's a note on the window saying they're moved to Maplewood (and with a full bar). Looks like that's the only Indigo location, if you look at their website. We hear the owner is changing directions and will re-open a new restaurant with a new concept, but it's all very hush-hush. Other rumblings: We've seen a Bloomfield restaurant space in construction, across the street from Panang on Broad Street. Street intel says it's going to be a French place, "Laissez Faire." What's taking 32 Church so long to open? We hear they're waiting to pass building inspection, and expect to be open for Montclair's Restaurant Weeks. (This may also explain what's delaying the opening of Five Guys in Upper Montclair.)Salute on Glenridge Ave. looks like they're making incremental progress, although no opening date yet. Around the corner on North Willow, another pizzeria(in the old smoothie shop), "Ahh Pizz" is almost ready to fire up the ovens. Remember the short-lived Aqua Blue Caribbean joint on Bloomfield? Truly, the most confusing fusion concept will be introduced there: Haitian-Italian. The new restaurant, "Tutti Vous" plans to open in a couple of weeks, there was no menu avaiilable when we stopped by. Gigi's Bay Street Cafe closed...replaced by "Urban Chicken." And informed sources say former recording studio "The Tallest Tree" on Glenridge Avenue is being renovated to make way for a sushi resto. And finally, we hear an ice cream/confectioner place may open on Bloomfield Avenue, next to Smashburger.

Bar Cara Opens In Bloomfield

2010-01-22T17:00:51Z

Bloomfield's restaurant scene just became more delicious with the addition of Bar Cara, which opens tomorrow, Saturday, January 23. Occupying the former Toscana on Broad Street, Bar Cara is an ambitious enterprise of the talented De Persio family, who for years, they've been pleasing palates in Montclair at their upscale Italian restaurant, Fascino. The name Bar Cara is an anagram of their names - Cynthia, Anthony, Ryan, Anthony. "We'll be serving traditional Italian food, like my grandmother makes, with a few twists," says chef-owner Ryan De Persio. The entire place has a new contemporary look, "casual, with a New York vibe." ]]> Bar Cara, 1099 Broad Street, Bloomfield, NJ 973-893-3681.

Justin Gaines, of Montclair, Wins on TV's Chopped

2010-01-20T19:24:06Z

Classically-trained chef Justin Gaines, born and bred in Montclair and whom we mentioned here last week, was the winner of Tuesday (Jan. 19) night's episode of the Food Network's Chopped series, a culinary competition pitting the skills of four chefs against the clock, each other, and baskets of mystery ingredients. "There was a lot of drama in that episode," Gaines told Baristanet today, describing the pre-recorded show which, contractually, he couldn't discuss until after it had aired. "I had the attitude of going in to win it, but now, I'm humbled by everyone's response to it." His mom Cathy said, "I am elated and so proud! This is the fruit of my labor as a single parent, and of what I've worked for, for the last 29 years - to see my kids become successful." Gaines, 28, who was "cooking every day after school, then doing homework," and who started out as a student who washed the dishes at Enzo's pizzeria, performed consistently throughout the courses, demonstrating his classical training at the Culinary Institute of America. ]]> Gaines, who is executive head chef of the SaZa Italian restaurant in Montgomery, Alabama, said his immediate plans comprise setting up five to ten more restaurants under the SaZa umbrella this year, continuing with food consulting and private catering in the tri-state area. He was overwhelmed with calls this morning from TV and radio stations, even as he worked. Check out one of Gaines' signature recipes here.

Chia Asian Bistro Offers Tasty Food in Stylish Setting

2010-01-18T18:00:05Z

It was with great interest that I, and many others in the 'hood, watched and waited as Chia Asian Bistro on Bloomfield Ave slowly took shape and eventually opened late last year, as I had yet to find a satisfactory local Chinese restaurant that would obviate the need to traipse into Chinatown in NYC. Chia, which promises a Southeast Asian twist on dishes, couldn't be better located, being within a few minutes' walk of bustling Church St, with its fine selection of wine, clothing, coffee and candy stores. The restaurant, replete with an airy dining room and a separate banquet room for party bookings, is tastefully decorated, with dark cherry wainscotting and generous windows welcoming in large swathes of natural light. Wallpaper in a deep jade, on which a Mandarin poem gracefully repeated itself in silver lettering, was mesmerizing and added a soothing touch to the dining room's tenor. In the banquet room next door, the wallpaper was calligraphed equally fetchingly, this time with repeated motifs of oriental-style kettles. Wide, polished wood planks adorned the floor in a dark stain, tables and sturdy cushioned chairs of walnut wood kept up the earthy theme, and a single, exotic flower in a vase stylishly accented each table. ]]> The staff were polite and attentive, without clucking over us every minute, a welcome boon for conversation. I didn't let on that I was doing a review, and the staff were equally secretive about the whereabouts of the owner, from whom I had hoped to extricate nuggets of Chia's history and beginnings following the meal. My dining companion and I, along with her young son, were pleased to find a lunch prix fixe menu, which made at least one combination of courses easier. Her 6 year old had his eyes on miso soup and fried pork dumplings. The menu was simply laid out, almost excessively so. One could have one's pick of protein, done in a few limited styles. My companion and I ordered both the Tofu, done with basil and jalapeno, and chicken, done similarly. As we awaited the food's arrival, we munched on some tasty pastry bites as a couple seated next to us prepared to leave, their wide grins and murmurs of 'That was really good' whetting our expectations. It wasn't a long wait, one of several welcome things about having a Chinese meal, and the six year old dug into the Miso Soup, which he declared delicious, its mysterious cloud entrancing him with its magical disappearance and reappearance, even as slivered flecks of scallion stubbornly stayed afloat. The Fried Pork Dumpling starter, part of a price-fixed lunch trio, was crunchy and meaty. Off the a la carte menu, there were six Vegetable Dumplings, all beautifully steamed and presented. They were piping hot and tender, with tasty chunks of gingered tofu and carrot, and served with a trio of dips including soy sauce, hoi sin sauce, and a translucent sweet chilli dip. Roast Duck Soft Tacos, served in the style of what many in Europe know as Peking Duck, were served with a mango salsa, julienned cucumber and scallions, and plum sauce. The duck was perfectly roasted, there wasn't too much skin in sight (which I had expected and wouldn't have minded), it was moist and not gamey. So far, so good. But here's the down side of having food arrive post-haste to the table. One feels the heat, literally and figuratively. The pressure of finishing the previous course which one really wants to linger over and enjoy, and the impatience of large, steaming hot entrees waiting at head height to claim their spot at the table. Fare thee well, dumplings, duck, and all your saucy friends. Singapore Mai Fun, a noodle entree, was spiced perfectly, with small chunks of tender chicken and a regular crunch of vegetables throughout. Tofu, with Basil and Jalapeno, was fried and cut into triangles. The tofu was pleasantly crunchy and didn't fall apart as one ate it. It was served with green and red peppers in a sweet and tangy sauce. The sibling dish of chicken, done in a similar manner, was tender and tasty, but brought to mind again the limitations of future visits in terms of variety. Beef, sauteed with Eggplant and Garlic, another way one's entree can be prepared, was ever so tender, and the eggplant was exquisite, retaining its firmness with just the right amount of give. If you've ever sauteed eggplant, you'll know this is not an easy thing to get down pat. Delicious. For the fiber finicky, there is the option of brown rice, which beat the white rice hands down for bite, separateness of grain and flavor. Perhaps you may want to refrain from ordering tea unless you're prepared to part with $5 for two modest cups of jasmine, instead of the nonstop refills of tea you may have come to expect at other Chinese restaurants. We skipped dessert but the plate of palate-cleansing orange slices which magically appeared was perfect to round off the meal. All in all, I'd love to go back, and hope that in the interim, more items will pop up in the list of entrees. The search for that spot-on Chinese restaurant in northern NJ may not be over yet. The bill came to about $20 a head, a tad on the pricey side, although the ambience arguably commands a small premium. I'd give the restaurant 3.5 out of 5 among mid-range local Asian restaurants, just for doing better taste- and presentation-wise than some of the competition (not a tough job, really), and for a great job decking out the interior. Chia Asian Bistro 446-450 Bloomfield Ave Montclair, NJ 07042 973.509.0799

Wines Of Spain Dinner At The Chateau

2010-01-12T21:00:15Z

An elegant dinner and wonderful wine pairings with friends, in a French Norman-style chateau, sounds like a dreamy evening you might have while vacationing in Northern France, non? How about this Thursday night -- no plane ticket required? Tucked away in a corner of West Orange, on a 40-acre estate is the magnificent Pleasantdale Chateau, recently designated an historic landmark. I recently visited the stunning former summer home of Allied Chemical industrialist C.W. Nichols, built at the turn of the century by European craftsmen. The mansion, an authentic reproduction and one of the few remaining examples of Norman architecture, is a spectacular display of artisan craftsmanship and luxurious comfort. Inside the gorgeous, antiques-filled dining room, I imagined what it might be like to actually be served dinner there. Since the Knowles family, owners since 1994, only rents out the facility for weddings and corporate retreats, I figured, dream on. Mais non! I learned there is a way to experience the old world grandeur - and with friends! ]]> a lot of good wine: Tempranillo "Roble", Algairen, Carinena, 2006, Mas La Mola Blanco, Priorat, 2007, Las Doses, Chozas Carrascal, Utiel Requenia, 2006, Crespiello, Pulchrum, Carinena 2003, Garnacha, Algairen, Carinena 2006,Garnacha "Ladera", Algairen, Carinena, 2005, and El Cabernet, Chozas Carrascal, Utiel Requenia, 2006. Each wine and food pairing will be discussed by Alex Berlingeri, President of Wine Sources. Featured on the menu: pan-seared róbalo, seared duck breast, a trio of pork dishes, sliced rib steak with estofado de carne de toro and grilled baby leeks; dishes are served with herbs and vegetables grown on the property and prepared by Robert Albers, executive chef. I won't tell you about the dessert, except that you can expect chocolate! To attend this event, please call Lars Johnson, general manager of Pleasantdale Château at 973-731-5600. The all-inclusive (meal, tax and gratuity) evening is $150. To receive an email about future wine dinners and special events, contact Stacy at switalias@pleasantdale.com. In keeping with the property's earlier roots, as Dutch farmland in the 1800s,Pleasantdale Château maintains a farm and apiary on its grounds that provide fresh produce for our events and other local area restaurants operated by the Knowles including Highlawn Pavilion and The Manor.

Gourmet Bachelor Author to Show Off Skills at Chef Central

2010-01-06T20:00:10Z

Cookbook author Chad Carns, recently featured on Toni On! (WPIX) and Marie Claire magazine, will demonstrate how to grill Korean BBQ steak in 20 minutes or less, at culinary superstore Chef Central in Paramus, on Jan. 9th at 11am. Carns, once a Hoboken resident who now lives in Greenwich Village, will describe how his new cookbook, The Gourmet Bachelor, makes light work of recreating international dishes at home, with a few ingredients bought at local markets. Carns said he will display, at Chef Central, how an inexpensive piece of meat can be cut in such a way that it will be as tender as sushi. It will be marinated simply with garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame seed oil and sugar, and grilled for two minutes a side. The audience will have a chance to taste it, too, and give their verdict. Carns, who is 33 and married, says he put his award-winning graphic design career on hold to write TGB, which is packed with vivid photography, slick black pages, simple cooking instructions and includes an essential wine guide paired with 20-minute gourmet recipes. The recipes were written to impress his girlfriend on Friday nights, he said, adding, "It worked, because we're married." His passion for cooking grew out of helping his grandmother make pasta, and from a background of family cooks. TGB, he says, is perfect for anyone who enjoys juicy burgers, as well as Thai, Japanese and Korean food or butter-poached lobster.

Let's Have Coffee in Caldwell

2010-01-05T20:19:33Z

If you want to celebrate a friend's birthday or just hang out with your laptop, there are two little places in Caldwell I can recommend. Rockn' Joe Coffeehouse at 339 Bloomfield Ave. is a spirited little bistro covered with photo albums and other rock-n-roll memorabilia, and while baby-boomer oriented, it looks like it would easily withstand a posse of kids. Tasty Coco Bistro and Dessert Lounge (shown left), just down the street at 291 Bloomfield Ave., has a similar menu but a slightly more grown-up feel. A friend who accompanied me to both places this week said Rockn' Joe reminded him of Williamsburg (Brooklyn, not Virginia), while Tasty Coco reminded him more of Greenwich Village. Both restaurants are sun-drenched, friendly and have wifi. Either place will let you linger for hours. ]]> We didn't try anything savory at Rockn' Joe (shown right), but the frozen hot chocolate ($4.65 large) was delicious, as was a big honking piece of chocolate layer cake. Over at Tasty Coco, the salads were satisfying and humongous -- an $8.95 Santa Fe barbecue chicken salad with avocado, bacon and Asian barbecue sauce was especially tasty and came in a bowl you could practically take a bath in -- but the dessert was the real show. We shared a flourless peanut butter chocolate lava cake, which was served with homemade marshmallow whipped cream and caramel-drizzled vanilla ice cream, worth every penny at $7.95. That dessert is pictured on our front page. Both bistros serve a mind-boggling array of warm beverages. Tasty Coco also features a new weekend brunch menu. Its specialty is the Creme Brulee French Toast. Rockn' Joe is open seven days a week. Tasty Coco is closed on Mondays.

Egan & Sons, West Orange: A Peek

2009-12-22T18:37:39Z

West Orange is hardly lacking in Irish pubs. Those of us who take Harrison Ave. to Eagle Rock Ave. as a regular shortcut, pass The Hat all the time. And Gaffer's Pub is right around the corner on Main Street. Well, now this corner of West Orange is officially Little Dublin. Egan & Son's, the hugely popular Irish pub on Walnut Street in Montclair, is opening a second pub right next to The Life church on Harrison Ave. in West Orange. Although all Irish pubs sport signs for Guinness, Egan's is planting its stake at the corner of Harrison and Eagle Rock as a place to eat as much as to drink. "We are very much food oriented," says co-owner Sharon Egan. "We like to consider ourselves a gastropub."]]> The West Orange location is a little smaller than the restaurant in Montclair, but the menu will be about the same. Although it has the same gleaming wood interior, it will be a little more informal, with more TV sets and some tables for large groups. It also plans to stay open for lunch daily instead of just on Friday through Sunday like the Montclair restaurant. And there's a fully-licensed patio, which will allow Egan's to serve drinks outside. "What makes us a true Irish pub -- aside from the fact that we're Irish -- is that we appeal to everybody," says Egan. In Ireland, she points out, everybody comes to the pub. At Egan's too, she says, families as well as singles are welcome.

Stocking Stuffers for Foodies

2009-12-14T20:00:30Z

Need something inexpensive to fill up a stocking for a foodie? Or a hostess gift for next weekend? Here are two items you can get for $10 or less that are guaranteed to please the taste buds. At left, Nicky Mesiah's small-size toffee (shown here, wrapped for Chanukah; also available in a Christmas theme): $10. Pick it up at any of these Montclair stores: Noteworthy, semplice, Chelsea Square, Jacklyn Kling or Piazza Della Sole. As a special incentive, only on Thursdays, you get a free homemade cookie for every box of toffee you buy. And for the harried chef on your list, here's a sure-fire seasoning mix from Farm-2-Bistro's Michael Madigan, who's partnered with Christie Lukasiewicz to bring out a line of spice mixes under the name BAMF Seasonings. BAMF is an acronym for something we can't print in a family newsblog, but having used the original blend for the past two months as an all-purpose flavor aid, I can say it does live up to its name. You can buy it for $9.95 at Farm2Bistro, 177 Franklin Ave. in Nutley. Madigan, a longtime food supplier to New York yachts, is celebrating the launch of BAMF with a BAMF New Year's Eve New York harbor cruise aboard the Royal Princess. There'll be a DJ, live music, passed appetizers, buffet, fireworks at midnight ... and of course BAMF samples as party favors. Tickets are $100 and $145.

Smashed On Bloomfield

2009-12-11T17:00:00Z

Created with Admarket's flickrSLiDR. Not all burgers are created equal, but why smash a burger? I found out at Montclair's newest burger joint last weekend when I spoke with their corporate chef. "The French sear steak on a hot grill in a pat of butter, and flip it once. The less you handle the meat, the better. That's how we cook a smashburger." The smashing part, he told me, sears it better. Back in the kitchen I watched as line cooks smashed big balls of ground beef onto a hot buttered grill. No pre-pressed hockey pucks at Smashburger. They use a metal press which resembles large cookie cutter to flatten the meatball and start the sizzle. ]]> Smashburger, 15 Bloomfield Avenue, Montclair (next to Panera). Open daily, 10-10.

Local Food Co-ops: Are They For You?

2009-12-03T14:00:00Z

Every week, I buy the bulk of my groceries at a local supermarket and then head over to Whole Foods for my meats, fish and produce. It's expensive, but buying quality organic food is important to me. Then I met Melina Macall. She is the founder of Boxed Organics, a local organic food co-op. I joined last week and received my first box yesterday. See my goodies at left. Having children motivated Melina to feed her family healthy food. She wanted to avoid genetically modified food, but it wasn't so easy. The United States has no labeling process for GM foods, unlike in the UK where Melina grew up. The only way to avoid them was to buy certified organic food. It got expensive, so she started looking into food co-ops. While she was happy with the benefits of a co-op, the ones available weren't working for her family. She had four children under four and they weren't exactly big kale eaters. She wanted more of a variety of produce and more convenience for busy parents. Nine years ago, she started her own organic food co-op and called it KFC, for Kid-Friendly Co-op, offering a good mix of produce for salads and cooking, a great fruit selection and pastured, organic eggs, all from local farms. She took out the expectation of a work commitment to make it easier for busy families and offered delivery. As word spread, more people wanted in, even those without children, so she changed the name to Boxed Organics. ]]> Boxed Organics Produce from individual local organic farmers and from an organic food distributor. Offers pastured, organic eggs and add-ons, such as granola, nuts, honey and dried fruits. Full-share (family of 4+) $55 Half-share (1-3 people) $33 Deliveries will be made in Montclair between 3:30 - 8pm, which ties in with the end of the school day, every other week for $5 each delivery or pick up will be between the hours of 4 pm and 8 pm Wednesdays. Email for more information. Purple Dragon Food Co-op Organic produce from both local and other organic farms. The amount of food in each delivery varies between 15-30 pounds. True co-op, where members purchase food together and divide labor. $46-53* per delivery, which is every other week, depending on where you live and if you are able to do dividing shifts or not. Work requirements are 1 hour every three months. Join a local group here. Montclair Community Food Co-op The MCFC has three components offering local, organic produce: A Winter Co-op which run from December to June (although I have been told they aren't offering it this year) A Summer CSA which runs from June to November Bulk Buying year round.

Shoprite's Cooking Classes (and Prices) Look Tasty

2009-12-02T20:30:03Z

If your Thanksgiving turkey and accompanying feast somehow failed to wow, it's not too late to sharpen your culinary skills or pick up some new tricks by Christmas, Passover or Easter. Brookdale ShopRite holds cooking lessons, taught by professional chefs, with the current session running through March 2010. Prices are fetching, at $20 per 2-hour class and $35 per 3-hour specialty workshop, as are the menus, and you'll get culinary techniques, tips, hints on working within a budget, and the know-how to produce a veritable banquet for friends and family. The mouthwatering catalog completely held my attention, while the promise of producing a Gordon Ramsay-standard beef wellington has just about confirmed a booking from me. I'd be treading on tested ground as Annette Batson and her husband Anthony did a course together on a 'date night' and thoroughly enjoyed themselves.]]> Jayme Cira, Brookdale ShopRite's culinary workshop coordinator, said most of the workshops tended to be fully booked, with up to 12 people per class. "People love to cook and, especially at this time when they're trying to save money and not eat out often, they're really interested to learn to make restaurant-quality food in their own homes," Cira said. The Elegant Entertaining course from Dec 7-11 includes lessons on making an exotic pepper-crusted angus beef with a classic sauce trio, with a cranberry-orange glazed roasted beet salad with endive. From Dec 14-18 is the Holiday Dessert Elective, which includes perfect pies, holiday cakes and confections, diabetic cakes, cookies, bars and tartlets (I'm there!). Big Game Buffet, from Jan 25-29 features mango-plum grilled pork skewers and cornmeal crusted catfish bites. Further courses are available at other ShopRites. A complete list of the dates and classes can be found in one of the culinary workshop brochures, which you can pick up at Brookdale ShopRite. There are kids classes, too, and birthday party cooking lessons were particularly popular, Cira said. "People love the private birthday parties, and you can pick from several menus, including the ones in the culinary workshops for kids," she said.
