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.

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.

Thanks Kindly,
Clem Coleman

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.
