December Calendar -

December Calendar When I sat down with Chef Kyle to discuss his first month's calendar of events, I told him it was important to highlight his seafood skills.  "Great, let's do Seafood Coastal Cuisine," he said. "And we have a lot of vegetarian guests who would appreciate an event built around great produce," I adde...

Did you say, Hedgehog Bar? -

Did you say, Hedgehog Bar? It appears that my grandchildren are having an amazing time in Japan.  I've seen pictures of them snuggling with Meerkats at a Hedgehog Bar - yes, that's a thing.  I've seen seven pictures of kakigori (i.e., the shaved ice treat Chef Jason adopted during COVID) and other amusements that were never...

Yeah, it slaps.

First Month of Chef Kyle's Events Released -

First Month of Chef Kyle's Events Released The wedding was a beautiful and emotional three-day affair.  Although the bride had ordered a paroxysm immediately to follow the vows, the volcano did not indulge her.  That was the only flaw in an otherwise perfect event.  I am tempted to write about it and to share my observations about Sicily...

Last Month for Chef Justin's Trust Dinner Party -

Last Month for Chef Justin's Trust Dinner Party I'm heading off for a wedding on Wednesday.  Where, you ask?  At the base of an erupting volcano in Taormina, Sicily.  (See above, picture taken of Mt. Etna last week.)  What could go wrong?  The airport (Catania) at which I'm scheduled to land has shut down several times in recent weeks becaus...

Lots of last chances to share an evening with Chef Justin and Tricia The changing of the guard in the Trust Kitchen has given me the opportunity to wrest control of the email system, which I have desperately missed.  (For those new to this list, I am Bob Quinn, Chef Jason's father and partner in this little enterprise.  I wrote these emails on a weekly basis for ye...

Chef Kyle McClelland -

Chef Kyle McClelland When Chef Justin reminded me that the time had come for him return to Long Island, I was immediately depressed.  True, he had warned me years ago that this day would come.  True, he’d spent something like nine years in the Trust Kitchen making magic for our guests.  True, it was fair that he re...
