pork butt in coke; NOW 5 DAYS A WEEK

The Rose and Kettle Restaurant
4 Lancaster St.
Cherry Valley, NY
Open Friday through Tuesday at 5 PM
www.roseandkettle.com


The Summer's almost here and we at the Rose and Kettle are adjusting accordingly. As of today we are open Friday through Tuesday for Dinner at 5, and we will be keeping the kitchen open with late snacks too! Starting at 9 we'll be serving Eggplant Parmesan, Fries, Quesadillas and more. 

About dinner: As the reservation book fills we are cranking up the ovens with chile-bathed grilled local Duck Breast from Gaia's Breath Farm, delicious Halibut Cheeks with vanilla beurre blanc, Pork Roast (what butchers call "Butt") braised all day in a Coca Cola Bath, classic R & K Hanger Steaks au poivre and much much more. 

This Sunday our friend Carl Waldman will be performing a live acoustic show at 8 PM. But not just any Carl Waldman mind you, this is the all new Carl Walman project: Carl Waldman alone with his guitar! It's a first for many years, the man behind more rock combos than Cherry Valley can recall is finally stepping out to work the wood and wire in a room full of nothing but ears... the ears of his audience.

That's all. Anything else you need to know, just ask.

Yours,
Clem

Mother's Day Weekend open Sunday at 12 Noon

The Rose and Kettle Restaurant
4 Lancaster St.
Cherry Valley, NY
Open Friday, Saturday, Sunday 
www.roseandkettle.com


Hi Everyone,

This Sunday is Mother's Day and we are open for a lunch and dinner marathon from 12 Noon until 10 PM. We've got our regular menu plus wonderful lunchy things for Mom and her gang: grilled wild salmon with lemon ailoi, truffle risotto, chilled creamy wild fiddle head fern soup, hot roast beef sandwiches with horseradish, eggplant parmesan.

Also on Sunday night, starting at 8 PM we have more live music. Two musician friends of ours from the underground pop scene in Troy, NY will be joining us for an evening of acoustic goodness. Ross Goldstein of The Coconut Show plays a sort of slack-keyed tropical road anthem pop with fuzzy toned guitar and organ. Come out and get a copy of his album Free Dumb, on vinyl! 

Aaron Smith fronts The Scientific Maps, who are big time now in Albany and Troy. They perform in a similar vein as Ross, a bright trumpet and moog-laced rockin' pop music. Aaron will be accompanied by his trumpet player Donna Baird so we're in for a treat. From The Beatles to Lou Reed to Vampire Weekend, these two bands run the gamut of likenesses while holding on to their own unique and excellent sound. It's free and it might just be the best music event we've hosted yet.

As for the rest, well we have local chickens in this weekend, which we will be serving in our special classic manner: plain (but great!). Also, local beef that I am braising in orange and herbs for a risotto, lots of fresh local greens, local duck sausages and cotto cured salami, local chevre goat cheese. we also have wild fiddle head ferns and wild leeks (aka ramps) fresh from the forest earth. Plus all your favorites like hanger Steak and Goat Cheese tarts. We are open at 5 on Friday and Saturday, and as I said earlier, we open at 12 Noon on Sunday. 

See you soon,
Clem

Spring and New Foods arrive

Cherry Valley, NY
Open Friday, Saturday, Sunday at 5 PM
www.roseandkettle.com

Hey Everyone, 

The Rose and Kettle Returns today with our Spring menu and the start of a new Season.

We also have some exciting news: Dana and Agnes and I are moving to Rome for 10 months in September. Dana was awarded the Prix de Rome by The American Academy of Arts and Letters. That's a residency in our favorite city, so we are very very excited. For now, the plan is to shutter the restaurant for the slow season and then re-open upon our return in the Spring of '09. But we'll keep you posted. 

As for the here and now, we have fresh oven-roasted halibut, local duck sausages with fava bean pesto, risotto with braised local lamb shoulder roast, and pan-seared free range chickens in our classic and simple manner. Also, Sunset Hill farm greens are back, warm goat cheese tarts, vanilla cardamom panna cottas. 

Open mic on Sunday at 8 PM with our pub menu.

Hope to see you soon.

Local Food and Space Oddities

The Rose and Kettle Restaurant
4 Lancaster St.
Cherry Valley, NY
Open Friday, Saturday, Sunday at 5 PM
www.roseandkettle.com


Hey Everyone,

This is Clem with the weekend's food update from The Rose and Kettle. 

First let me remind you that this Sunday at 8 we debut our new series, POSERS' PARADE, an open invitational thematic music night. Like an open mic, but with rules. This week's theme, DAVID BOWIE. So come on over, bring an axe, a sax or an axe-man and a couple tunes to cover. We organized this event with our friend Mark Reinertson, and picked Bowie to launch what we hope will be a recurring event because there's a Bowie for everyone. There's a bard, a balladeer, a disco pop master and a glam electronic prince. Whatever your gender or current hair style, you probably resemble David Bowie from one of his phases. 

Secondly, if you have a suggestion for the next edition of POSERS' PARADE, please let us know. Some suggestions already:

COWBOY SONGS, SLOW JAMS, THE BEATLES, ONE HIT WONDERS. keep them coming!

Anyway, the weekend's menu holds many great comforting favorites and some new surprises. We have Nectar Hills Farm Chorizo and Sundried Tomato Risotto with Painted Goat Grating Cheese (that's our very own upstate parmesan made from goat's milk cheese!!!). 

Also, we have Gaia's Breath Farm Duck Ragu with Penne, a deeply flavored red sauce with herbs and wine and delicious slow-cooked duck meat.

We are still cooking up our favorite winter fish--Almond-Crusted Wild Barramundi Filet with Potato Wedges and Balsamic Aioli. (This is my spin on classic fish and chips: Crunchy coated white fish with salty potatoes and a vinegary dip.)

We have a delicious Eggplant Ravioli served with Marinara, Marinated Eggplant and Mushrooms, and chopped mozzarella.

Alright! Looks like the winter storm warning is in effect! So put on your Sondre Norheims and telemark across the ridge. The hearth is lit and the wine is red (and white).

Yours,
Clem Coleman

LOTS OF DELICIOUS MEALS-and the farms that help provide them

The Rose and Kettle Restaurant   607-264-3078
4 Lancaster St.
Cherry Valley, NY
www.roseandkettle.com

Dear Friends,

Usually I promise brief missives, but today I promise a little more. This letter concerns first, the food we cook, then, the sources of our food. We'd like to remind you that many of our menu items come from the inspired efforts of some amazing local farmers and food artisans who make most mortals lives seem breezy and easy. 

The Rose and Kettle opens this weekend (tomorrow at 5 in fact) with a whole host of great foods, many from our friends at local farms in the region and a few fished from far-flung and chilly waters. On the chilly waters front, we are continuing to serve wild Barramundi, a flakey thin filet from New Zealand that we coat in ground almonds and flour and cook tempura-style and serve with balsamic aioli and potato wedges. More to the local, we have Painted Goat Farm warm goat cheese tarts with a mission fig glaze. We are also making garlicky meat dumplings with ground pork, lamb and beef from Nectar Hills Farm and Vancalcar Acres. I am also cooking a jambalaya style stew of organic rice, tomatoes and local Gaia's Breath Farm chicken sausages with wild Gulf of Mexico shrimp. We will have a lamb risotto with leeks, parmesan and pinenuts, and braised lamb from Vancalcar Acres Farm. Finally, this weekend we are serving thinly-sliced eggplant marinated in mint and red wine vinegar and served with eggplant ravioli, marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese.

I'd like to take a minute to tell you a little about our farm partners who work very hard to bring us the delicious foods that we have the pleasure of feeding you. While corporate farming structures have steadily marched our culture further and further away from it's own inherited and diverse food principles, and left us and our kids almost blind and lacking in real pallet and plate diversity, a few courageous people have chosen to turn around and look over their shoulder, grab the brakes and try to steer this vessel back back back, closer to the world we'd like to live in. Farming is very hard work, and to choose to return to the land and work with plants and animals in a pre-industrial fashion is an incredible undertaking that requires commitment to something that is largely unsupported by the norms of America today. Some people would almost say it's crazy. But enough folks have been doing it and I meet new ones every year who are striking out with all sorts of schemes, varying goals and approaches, and interesting life stories to tell. 

We know that while we didn't invent the notion of 'LOCAL' as either a healthier whole approach to eating and living, or as means of nurturing the regional economy, but we are excited to report that our experiment in it has been so successful and that our roster of friends who we buy from has grown every year and deepened, as young and energetic farmers are cropping up every year. Here are 3 short farm bios for you:

Recently we met the people at Painted Goat farm, Ilyssa Berg and Javier Flores. Their aged goat cheese buttons and creamy chevre are phenomenally light and tangy and worldly tasting, especially for a farm hardly a year old. Then I learned that they were busy excavating caves deep under ground and pouring concrete down there and crafting a dumb waiter system for accessing their products and I thought "Damn, that's for reals." (yes, "For Reals." That's what I thought.)

more info on these folks can be found here:   http://www.nyfarmcheese.org/cheesemakers.asp?id=37

Last Spring we began buying meat and vegetables from Gaia's Breath Farm. While Painted Goat does the "one thing, and with incredible focus" approach, Gaia's Breath approaches their property like a little panoramic micro-world, and make a go very successfully at being everything for everybody. That's why our menu can feature beets and heirloom tomatoes, boudin blanc sausage, roast duck or even suckling pig, and all from one farm. These folks are tireless workers and Chrissy, who has a background in culinary art, makes sausages so delicious that I buy them whenever they are available.

more on Gaia's  Breath Farm here:   www.gaiasbreathfarm.com

Finally, it's been a few years since Dave and Sonia (Dutton and Sola) moved from New York City and brought their eclectic skills to Cherry Valley. They've opened The Nectar Hills farm Store on Main Street, they've performed at local music events (MORE ON THIS IN MINUTE) and they've fed this town with copious bushels of delicious potatoes, wild edible flowers, and lots and lots of some of the best pork and lamb and beef we've ever tasted. Their Highlander Beef is a popular and recurring component to many Rose and Kettle risottos, they introduced me to my first skin-on spare ribs and shoulder roasts, and they play some wickid (that's right, WICKID-spell check it in your Street Dictionary) psychadelic acoustic music. More on them here:


Dave and Sonia will be joining us this Sunday at 8 PM for some great free live music.  We promise surprise guests artists, open tunings, slide work outs and wild fret gymnastics. YEAH!!! Come on out and celebrate local food, local farms and local music.

Take Care, and thanks for reading.

DAVID BOWIE POSTPONED, but CHOCOLATE BROWNIES are all over the place

The Rose and Kettle Restaurant
4 Lancaster St.
Cherry Valley, NY
607-264-3078

Dear Folks,

If you want to read about the chocolate brownie, skip to the last line of this email. If you're here to read about the music being postponed, just proceed as you would normally when reading an email.

We're postponing this weekend's acoustic music night for 2 weeks for a host of small reasons. Our DJ is sick and half the village is off to NYC for an art field trip, and finally, it's Academy Awards night and we'd rather have the whole night to ourselves.

Suffice it to say you've got no more excuses--we're giving you an extra FORTNIGHT to dye that mullet and work up an a cappella rendition of Panic in Detroit like you've always dreamed of.

This weekend is not a slouch on the food end, however. We've got local Gaia's Breath Farm chicken sausages that are roasted with sage and radicchio and served with brown rice and broccolini. We've also got nectar Hills Farm Pork Chops grilled and served with a balsamic reduction, fava beans and potato puree. We have the Barramundi fish, that's a flakey wild New Zealand Fish that is crusted with almonds and served extra crispy with lemon-garlic aioli. And we have the return of an old house favorite, Vancalcar Acres lamb shank braised and served with lemon herb risotto. YUM.
 
ANDDDDD... tonight we introduce the chocolate chocolate chip brownie with vanilla ice cream, caramel sauce and crunchy chocolate pearls. I knew you'd skip to the end!

Take Care,
Clem

"Getting Ready For Later"

The Rose and Kettle Restaurant                   Open Friday Saturday Sunday at 5 PM
4 Lancaster St.
Cherry Valley, NY
www.roseandkettle.com

This is Clem at The Rose and Kettle. we're cooking up some exciting stuff this weekend, but before we get to that I have a brief interlude for you.

Here's the story of the week:

I went to buy 3 tablets of drawing paper on Tuesday for my daughter Agnes. I went to the Cooperstown General Store, my favorite store. The woman at the counter--whom I'd never seen before-- looked at the paper tablets while collecting my money and asked me: "Getting ready for later?"

I said "Yup."

And since that moment I've been wondering what did she mean? Probably just a passing small-talkism, but not one I've ever heard before--it felt rather existential. If I was buying party hats or a hand gun maybe I could understand, but drawing paper? "GETTING READY FOR LATER?" If anyone has an explanation for this that they can suggest, feel free to email back.

OKAY, BACK TO REGULAR STUFF:

The Rose and Kettle will be open next Thursday for Valentines Day. We will be serving our regular menu plus some classic lover's cuisine, like filet mignon with tuffles and hollandaise sauce, and roasted oysters rockefeller. Dining will be ala carte this year, so it will be all about freedom and choices! and love!!!

Alright. If your still reading this email you are most likely very hungry or starting to fall asleep, so I'll speed along and tell you about this weekend's menu.

We have our classic warm goat cheese tarts with caramelized onions; we have the recently popular new spinach salad with roasted beets, Stilton cheese and pumpkin seeds with a pomegranate dressing; and we have crispy winter rolls stuffed with potatoes, parsley and cheese and served with slow-cooked apples; on the entree side we have crispy duck breast with Madeira beurre rouge; our classic French-cut chicken breast and thigh with garlic mashed and sauteed spinach; We also have a great Baramundi fish from New Zealand, a thin filet, white and flaky, rolled in crushed almonds and served with a lemon sauce--this is a spun version of the traditional Sole Almondine!!! check it out.

And finally, this Sunday we are happy to have local guitar slinging cowboy Jim Faliveno with his baritone voice and his deep supply of classic country, pop and rock and roll tunes. * PM to 10 Sunday Night.

Alright, congratulations because you made it to the finish. Thanks, and have a good weekend!

Yours,
Clem

Ommegang: "Great Beer Deserves Great Food" --

The Rose and Kettle Restaurant
4 Lancaster Street Cherry Valley, NY
www.roseandkettle.com
Open Friday-Sunday at 5 PM

Hello Everybody,

Cherry Valley is in the midst of an ice storm as I write this note, but we continue to persevere with the hope that the weather will break and you will be able to join us this weekend because we have great food and music and a special event on Saturday at The Ommegang Brewery in Cooperstown. Actually, the weather report has it that the storm ends at 5 tonight, which is exactly the moment we open our doors and welcome you in for dinner.

This Sunday we have an un-superbowl party begining at 8 PM with live music from Mike Hand and Don Osterberg, two core members of the Hand Band. Original and popular rock and roll standards from two of Cherry Valley's favorite musicians, a touch of improv and a touch of danger (actually, no danger--just fun). The music calendar is swelling with talent from near and far and if you want to check the schedule visit our blog at the following address (also at the blog you can revisit some of our hilarious emails from yesteryear--uhg!):

http://roseandkettle.blogspot.com/

Saturday at noon, come on out to the Ommegang Brewery and sample all their delicious classic and radical Belgian Ale concoctions paired up with some wild Rose and Kettle food stuffs. The boys from the Brewery dropped off a couple of cases of their Chocolate Ale and the Ommegedon for me this week with the simple instructions to cook whatever I like as long as I make enough food for a hundred and fifty folks and that everything I cook is saturated with Ommegang beer. So I've got some delicious Pork Shoulder Roasts, Lamb steaks and duck sausages, all from local farms, and all ready for the next step on the food chain (which is hopefully the last step on the food chain).

Coming up on February 14 is Valentines Day, and the Rose and Kettle will open especially for this night with our regular dinner menu and some delightful specials. Look for fancy steaks and rare truffles, exotic fish and rich seafood. More to come!!!

Alright, thanks for reading, keep in touch, visit our blog and drop a comment there if you like.

Best,
Clem Coleman

Delicious Vittles and Ominous Seapods: the live music series continues


Hey Everybody,

This is Clem writing to say come on down to the Rose and Kettle and eat some food sometime! The ovens are hot and the stoves are sizzling with delicious sweetness and spicy heat. We've got our great chickens, local pork chops, king salmon from New Zealand and hanger steaks. We've got eggplant ravioli and proscuitto ravioli. And we've got our always evolving international wine list created by your sommelier Dana Spiotta.

This Sunday at The Rose and Kettle we welcome the esteemed guitarist and song writer Dana Monteith, formerly of the very popular jam band The Ominous Seapods and currently bassman in my own King Vidor rock combo. Last year Dana released his own album called Truck Stop Love Ballads. Dana is also the owner of his own recording and mastering company, Kitchen Table Recording Corporation of America, and he's a well-known musician on the Albany scene. He's toured the States many times with the Seapods and he's a great person to know.

Music at Eight. Dinner all weekend starts at 5. Thanks.

Clem

Dear Friends,

We are home from our trip to Philadelphia and we are excited and charged up to provide you with all the delicious things you might need to get you through another day.

Our bellies are full of famous Philadelphia food stuffs, and our hearts are happy because while we were away we learned that the Albany Metroland selected us the Area's #1 restaurant. We are honored and humbled by this selection and we will continue in 2008 to make delicious food from our area farms and serve it to hungry folks Friday through Sunday nights.

We're just cranking up the ovens to prep for the weekend and I can tell you we have local slow-cooked pork belly, olive oil-poached wild salmon with lemon risotto, boudin blanc sausage ragu with penne, and a wild mushroom and sundried tomato risotto.

And our music series will continue through the Winter months. We are bringing in friends and bands from out of state like The Baird Sisters from Philadelphia and The Grown Up Noise from Boston, and our new series, The Poser's Parade, curated by Mark Reinertson, where we invite friends to perform songs by a pre-selected artist. This February look out for the Posers Parade Debut: "Bowie (in Space)." Come on down and do your favorite Bowie song, be it the Laughing Gnome, Cat People or Under Pressure.

This Sunday the music is still up in the air, so if you want to come in for music give us a call first to see what's up.

Thanks and have a good 2008!

-Clem
