Holiday Wine

Many people have trouble selecting wines that pair well with traditional holiday meals, especially turkey, which has a tendency to make delicious red and white wines taste like aluminum foil. Fruity Beaujoliais are a great solution, but consider asking your wine merchant to order some Sparkling Shiraz for you. It seems strange, a deep rich sparkling red wine, but it's fun and tasty and goes good with hams, roasts and even turkeys and other birds.

Check out Terry's Wines in Cherry Valley.

Steak House Movie Night

Coming up Saturday, December 5th, the next installment of our Film Dinner series. We'll be...









...serving a Steak House Special: Seared Hanger Steak, Marinated Tomato and Onions, Mashed Potatoes and Hollandaise Sauce. Caesar Salad for startes, and a couple dessert choice. The movie is free, and dinner is 25 dollars.

This time we'll be viewing:

Pickup on South Street
directed by Sam Fuller and Starring Richard Widmark and Jean Peters

here's a tribute to Widmark:



Cold War Cynicism and International espionage collide in this classic noir flick, featuring the ultimate American anti hero, Richard Widmark.

HI Everyone,

We've got a busy weekend coming up, in part to make up for the next weekend when we will be closed for the Thanksgiving holiday. But first, I'd like to thank everyone who came out last Saturday for Big Night. It was a great success and lots of fun. In three weeks time we'll be showing another film and serving another delicious dinner along with it. We're going to do a noir film next, highlighting one of the great ironies of typcasting in Hollywood history. Richard Widmark was famous for his evil snicker and his vicious mistreatment of wheelchair-bound ladies, but in reality he was known as a generous and decent family man and a really sweet person. One of my favorite Widmark movies is Pickup on South Street, about a cynical pick pocket who gets mixed up in a Cold War espionage case on account of all he did was pick the wrong pocket... like it's getting hard for a guy to make an honest living anymore...

Pickup On South Street. Saturday December 5th at 8 O'Clock. Menu to be announced.

This weekend I'll be preparing a French Onion soup with Grilled French Bread and Taleggio Cheese Croutons. Also on the menu we've got spicy pork spring rolls with orange-garlic glaze, fresh local baby spinach from Tom Takacs farm, Osso Bucco from Nectar Hills, and Grilled Tuna Loin. But our star seller these days is the Rigatoni with Chicken and Almonds and Caramelized Onions in White Wine and Cream. What can I say, people enjoy eating it.

Music Update: Live this Sunday at 8:30: The Sifters, a wooly band of acoustic country rockers from the Cooperstown and Cherry Valley area. This is a reunion of sorts, especially commisioned for The Rose and Kettle.

Finally, have you made plans for New Year's Yet? Well I made them for you. Our New Years Eve Dinner and Seasonal Grand Finale Party is always a highlight. The Menu is posted HERE at our Blog.

Thank you for reading, and stay healthy.

Dear Rose and Kettle Regulars,

This Saturday at 8 we show Big Night in the Green Dining Room. Seating is limited, so call us and reserve your table. Dinner will include a choice of Mushroom Risotto or Spaghetti and Meatballs, a salad to start and a choice of dessert. 20 bucks a head. Please arrive and take your seats by 7:30 so we can square you away with drinks and other comforts before the show begins. Call for a rez: 607-264-3078

Sunday Evening a 8:30 our music series continues with a live acoustic performance from local artist Mary Doherty. Mary grew up in and around Cherry Valley and has been playing finger-picked acoustic folk for years. I'm expecting a good turn-out for this one, so come early and grab a burger or something from our Bar Menu.

I know  many of my messages lately have given short shrift to the dinner menu, so let me cap this note off with a brief run-down of some of our dinner dishes this weekend:

-Nectar Hills Farm Osso Bucco with Parmesan Risotto, Creamy Reduction and Gremolata
awesomeness on a plate

-Slow-Cooked #1 Tuna with Anchovies, Capers and Lemon
trendy-trendy-trendy is the sushi tuna seared nearly raw with yada-yada-yada, and don't get me wrong, we love that stuff too. But try this classic Mediterranean dish where the fish is slow-poached in extra virgin olive oil. and what, you may ask, is #1 Tuna? that's one of the choices the purveyors give me when I call to see what kind of fish they've got this week. other options would be #2, #3, etc... #1 is just, that... the best.

-Braised Pork Shoulder Roast Cooked with Chillies, Cilantro, Ginger Ale and Cloves
powerful flavors combined for a delicate balance

-Cold Weather Stew
Takacs Farm root vegetables in a roasted chicken broth

-Red Velvet Cupcakes, Tiramisu, and Apple Tarts a la Mode have all be added to our dessert list in the last few months by Dana's sister Robin, who is our Pastry Chef

That's it. And remember, we have a new To-Go Menu, And we hope to see you soon.

Dear Friends,

       
       A couple brief updates:

       Now you can enjoy delicious Rose and Kettle meals at home. Check out our new To-Go menu posted online. I designed this menu to be recession-proof, if you know what I mean. You can download a PDF of the menu as well. We are open Friday through Sunday at 5--and the To-Go menu is available at these times as well. Check it out.

       This Sunday the 8th, our music series continues with an Open Mic Music and Poetry Fest hosted by Bob Millner. Bring that diary, that scroll, that life-long work-in-progress and use our microphone to pronounce it to the universe.

Next Saturday the 14th of November we bring you our new special event: MOVIE NIGHT. You know what a movie is, and you know what a night is, but do you know what a "MOVIE NIGHT" is?

Good guess. It's a night where you watch a movie, and watch it with your friends, and eat a delicious 3-course dinner while you do all that, and it happens at The Rose and Kettle. On Saturday, November 14th we will be showing Big Night with a big Italian dinner in the Green Dining Room. We will be serving risotto, but we wont be serving it with a side of pasta. Call now, because reservations are limited. Movie and dinner will cost you 20 dollars. (The first course will be a fresh local green salad with lemon oil and croutons, and dessert will be a choice of either a red velvet cupcake or tiramisu.)

The Internet Movie Data Base describes Big Night as such: "A failing Italian restaurant run by two brothers gambles on one special night to try to save the business."
Actually, I don't really like this movie at all...

Alright, that's it. have a good one!

Dear Friends,

In Just a few short weeks the Rose and Kettle will be launching its new TO GO MENU, its new SATURDAY NIGHT MOVIE DINNER THEATER and an array of other great and fun things.

Every Saturday in the green dining room we will show a movie at 7:30 PM. A special menu will be created to go along with the film, and the emphasis will be on good times, good movies and good hearty fare. Expect the menus to be eclectic and inexpensive. We are hoping to do one for kids, too. Up first: Italian Movie Night with Spaghetti and Meat Balls and Salad and Garlic Bread. Details to come.

Also we are excited to announce the drafting of a TO-GO menu featuring menu items and new things as well. Many of you like to get your food to-go already, now we're just codifying that part of the restaurant, expanding it and streamlining it as well, and creating a special menu to take away and keep in your ever-expanding files. Thoughts and suggestions are welcome as we draw up this document.

Remember, we're open this Friday through Sunday, and we have live music on Sunday at 8:30. The musical act will be none other than myself, solo and with some guests as well. My band King Vidor is currently finishing its 2nd record, I'll be doing some of those tunes as well as some I wrote and recorded in Italy last Winter. And some old weird stuff too.

Thanks, Be well,
Clem

Hey Friends and Family,

Just a brief reminder that The Rose and Kettle Restaurant is open Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights at 5 for dinner.

We will remain open until New Year's Eve, and are planning to go out in style with you then. More on that another time.

Remember, our menu changes weekly and we specialize in rustic and heart-warming cuisine, using local farms from the surrounding region to provide us with many of our finest ingredients. This week we're serving homemade ravioli made by our Pastry Chef, Dana's Sister Robin Supak. These are Red Russian Kale Ravioli and I'm making a deep deep deep braised beef bolognese to dress it. We've got Local Pork Shoulder Braised in Apple Cider with Rutabaga Puree, Wild Grilled Salmon with Garlic Mayo Crust and Fresh Herb Salsa Verde, and the return of Lamb Chops with Parmesan Risotto. The Kale is from Tom Takacs in Palatine Bride, the Pork is from Dave and Sonia at Nectar Hills Farm and the Lamb is From New Zealand, a small verdant county just East of the Hudson River.

Every night at 8 we serve from the bar menu, cheap and cheerful eats to keep you from getting that sad feeling when your stomach feels empty.

And this Sunday at 8:30 our Live Music series continues with two acoustic performances, one from Carl Loewenguth and Ben Resnik of Cheese of the Mystic Ceremony, and the other from Spencer Supak of Medicine Sunday.  Two great talents from the youth set!

Thanks, and we'll see you soon,
Chef

Dear Friends,

Here's a list of things you can eat at The Rose and Kettle restaurant this weekend:

Grilled Hamburgers from Nectar Hills Farm with Brioche Rolls from Le Bus Bakery (in Philadelphia--they arrive frozen) and Cheddar Cheese from Jake Rury's shop.

Celery Root Puree from Tom Takac's farm in Palatine Bridge. (With White Truffle Oil.) (No website. Old School.)

Wild Gulf of Mexico Shrimp Sauteed with Romesco (puree of almonds, bread, pepper flakes, tomato and garlic) served with local yellow potatoes and greens.

Nectar Hills Farm Pork Butt braised in Sharon Orchards Cider and served with whipped rutabagas.

But I know you, you're just gonna come in and get the R and K Salad and the Hanger Steak anyway. Come on, admit it. You know it's true.

And that's okay too.

Dear Folks,
                                                        

Don't forget your dinner reservations at The Rose and Kettle this weekend! We're open Friday, Saturday and Sunday at 5, and we've got lots of great Fall menu items like local Veal Milanese from Gaia's Breath Farm in Jordanville, Bolito Misto (mixed boiled meats) with Pickles and Sea Salt, Wild Alaskan King Salmon, Elk Steaks and Roasts from Rosebrook Elk Farm in Roseboom, and more.

Last Sunday we started our Fall Sunday Music Series with two great acts and good friends, Ross Goldstein and The Scientific Maps. Whether you missed it or caught it, I posted a great Video that The Scientific Maps recently put up on "The You-Tube" at The Rose and Kettle Blog.

And remember, this Sunday is Hilltown Music Night, with live music from a host of bands from Rensellaerville, NY... The Red-Haired Strangers, Dana Monteith and my own band King Vidor. All these bands record and play together, a blend of acoustic and electric rock, country and folk. Sunday Night Music is always free, starts at 8:30.

And for light meals and bar food, check out The Rose and Kettle's bar menu, available every night at 8. Steak and Fries, Rose and Kettle Salad with Grilled Chicken, Flatbread Sandwiches. The Rose and Kettle Bar Menu, always "Cheap and Cheerful."

Thanks so much. And to the new folks recently added to our email list, let me know if you would like to be removed from this list, and feel free to peruse the Blog where we've posted lots of pictures from our trip top Rome last Winter.

Yours,
Clement Coleman

The Scientific Maps: People Love Their Troubles

the scientific maps played a fabulous show last night at the rose and kettle along with our good friend ross goldstein, who played great tunes from his vinyl LP trail songs, some new numbers, and a smattering of covers by lee hazelwood, the kinks and scott walker.

Live Music Begins, and The Fall Menu arrives

Dear Friends and Family,

The Rose and Kettle introduces new menu items this weekend, like Ultra-delicious Veal Milanese with fresh veal from our pals at Gaia's Breath farm, thinly sliced and breaded and parmed-up and cooked crispy, served with Wild Local Spinach, aka Lamb's Quarters, the most delicate and wonderful wild leafy green that is foraged by our farmer friend Tom Takacs up in Palatine Bridge. We also continue with burgers from Dave and Sonia at Nectar Hills farm, with fresh homemade aioli and shoestring fries.

We're still collecting votes for the hall of famous foods from menus past, but one item that's been popular are the old spring/autumn rolls. In response I'm making a new batch of organic chicken and broccoli autumn rolls with cheese, cooked crispy and served with a small green salad with apples and walnuts.

Lots of Fall greens are pouring in from local farms, so I'm making a roasted chicken both-based greens soup with poached egg and crouton. An old Italian recipe I picked up--not last year, but my first time around-- in 1993 when I was a young painting student in Rome and started my accidental education in delicious eating.

Okay, one more thing: The Sunday Night Music Series (Which is FREE) begins this week with the Fantastic Scientific Maps and the equally fantastic Ross Goldstein. We've had them in before and they are also friends of mine from the music underground. The Scientific Maps are a guitar and trumpet-led band that play pop songs with harmonies and melodies to kill for. They, along with Ross Goldstein, are leaders in the anarchic Troy art scene. How does an anarchic scene get leaders? I don't know, maybe through violent over-throw? or maybe just through excellence. Ross plays guitar pop with influences that range from Don Ho to T-Rex, and that is not a joke. He wrenches a near slack-key Hawaiian tone from his Fender Stratocaster that is jaw-dropping. It all starts this Sunday at 8:30. Check out our blog for the current musical schedule and links to these band's web pages.


Thanks,
Clem Coleman

Fall Season Menu Write-in Campaign

Dear Friends,

Time to start wearing sweaters and eating more comfortable food.

Back for a cameo this weekend is the good old fashioned Hamburger, a medium-sized flattened ball of fresh ground beef from Nectar Hills Farm which is aggressively salted and then peppered, then cooked on a flaming hot grill and finished in the oven. If you've never tried one of these babies, you don't know what you're missing. We put it on a brioche roll next to a pile of salty fries with garlic mayo (or aioli) and ketchup. The "Burger," as people with time constraints like to refer to it, is not often seen at The Rose and Kettle, so if you want to catch one, come in soon.

We've also got some other new old favorites to add to our menu. Rigatoni with Chicken and Shallots and Cream, Wild Salmon with Beet Emulsion, Braised Beef Stew with Cinnamon and Potatoes.


Fall Season Menu Write-In Campaign


But today I'm announcing a new Special Event. We're contemplating several other old favorites and new items and we're even opening our minds to the memories of our friends and customers. Did you ever eat something at The R and K that you especially enjoyed and then it disappeared and never came back? Want it back? Vegetarian Spring Rolls, Salmon Tempura, Lasagna Bolognese. These things come to mind. But maybe there are things we're missing.

Go to our Blog, scroll down to the entry heading that lists all the old favorites we could think of, and click the COMMENT button. then just add your thought. This is an open call for your own personal FEELINGS and OPINIONS! What a lucky Break for YOU!

Bar Menu
The Bar Menu is now available every night at 8 PM. Great cheap eats and fun fare for all. Chicken Flatbread with Salsa Verde, Braised Pork Sandwich, Club Steak. Yes.



Music
Now, In a few weeks we'll be announcing the start of our Fall Sunday Nights Music Series. We are bringing in lots of new bands from out of town and some of our local favorites as well. For a sneak peek at some of the upcoming groups, check out the blog's new calendar of events. We'll be adding new bands as the slots fill up.

The Sun Mountain Fiddler!!!

The Rose and Kettle Restaurant
4 Lancaster St.
Cherry Valley, NY
every night except Wed-Thurs, open at 5 PM

www.roseandkettle.com

Dear All:

The lights are lit and the ovens are on. The red wine is at room temperature and the bread is warm. The new menus are printed and the floors are still a little bit crooked. The Rose and Kettle is ready!

This Sunday June 28th we present Dick Solberg aka The Sun Mountain Fiddler live at The Rose and Kettle Restaurant. 8 PM.

Dick is famous in Upstate NY and tours the Mid West, The Caribbean Islands and many parts of the nation and world on the back of his reputation as a first-rate party starter and a chilled-out entertainer with reams of music at his finger tips, both original and classics culled from the song books of our world.

Needless to say, we are excited to have The Sun Mountain Fiddler come in and play.

Just a reminder, we are open every night now, except Wednesday and Thursday, starting at 5 PM, and we have great new stuff on the menu, culled from our year in Italy, like The Leaning Tower of Pizza and so on. No, just kidding, but we do have some great new pasta dishes, slow-roasted garlic and herb-crusted pork roast, and a bunch of sandwiches on the late night (after 9 PM) bar menu. We are concentrating on affordable every day food that is healthy and inexpensive, because in this economy we know people still want to treat themselves to dinner every once in a while.

One more thing: beginning July 18th-- which is the start of The Glimmerglass Opera Season, we will be open on Thursdays too!

Thanks,
Clem

Reserve Early and Reserve Often

GRAND RE-OPENING!

This Saturday June 20th at 5 PM The Rose and Kettle re-opens in full with new menu, new drinks, new vigor and the same old desire to feed and nourish you all.
Old favorites like the Hanger Steak, our Classic French-Cut Chicken, and the R and K Salad and Warm Goat Cheese Tart are re-united and joined by new friends like Pasta Cacio Verde and a Porchetta Sandwich with Salsa Verde.

This season we re-emphasize value and affordability along with local and seasonal and delicious things. We will be selling delicious quaff-able carafes of house wine, we'll have our bar menu of flat bread sandwiches and small plate items (starting at 9 PM every night) and we'll be renovating the house pasta choices to reflect our experiences with Roman food last year while we were abroad.

We'll be open every night except Wednesday and Thursday, and when the Glimmerglass Opera Season commences on July 18th we will also open on Thursdays.
