Nordstrom Cafe Bistro

Every time we go to Nordstrom Cafe Bistro we have an outstanding experience.  There’s hardly ever anyone in there which must be due to its tucked away location but it is fantastic in every detail.  The service is always great, the food tasty, fresh and prepared perfectly and the prices are reasonable. Last night our server John was super kind and efficient and that has been my experience with each and every one of the staff here.  I know it isn’t all that trendy to recommend a place that is a chain of sorts but this food and service and room are worth a visit.  I promise you will not be disappointed.

Julie Geary’s Lamb Shank Video

Since Julie Geary has been in the catering business that her mother started out of their home in Magnolia she has learned many tricks and techniques for getting the most flavor from her food – and when she wants to the most bang for the buck. She loves to share that knowledge with people and does so here with this delicious recipe for cooking a lamb shank that is so tender the meat will fall off of the bone. The secret is to braise, cook in the proper liquids and slowly simmer on the stove or in the oven for a few hours. It is a good recipe for a long, cold, rainy afternoon. Watch her do it here.

Dog Bar St Paddy’s Day

Pete Linbdberg will be wearing a green shirt and Dave Borge will be in a leprechaun costume. At some point, we will have a few of our favorite herring fishermen lead us in traditional Irish songs.   We’re leaving the boiled dinner to the Rhumbline – for reasons of tradition, but we will be serving up a mean corned beef ruben with homeade kraut on fresh rye with handcut fries for $5.99.

Chickity Check It! North Shore Dish Talks Cape Ann Fresh Catch

Fish Tales: Does Cape Ann Fresh Catch Measure Up?

From North Shore Dish-

Cape Ann Fresh Catch, the Gloucester-based community supported fishery program, has certainly made a big splash since it debuted last year. Lauded by the likes of Boston.com and Saveur, the program has been popular among those with a desire to eat fresh, locally produced foods.

Caught fresh daily by Gloucester fishermen, approximately five pounds of seafood per customer is delivered to seven Boston area communities; Cambridge (two locations), Jamaica Plain, Acton, Lincoln, Marblehead, Gloucester, Newburyport, and Ipswich. There is a two-hour window for shareholders to pick up. Consumers get local, seasonal, super-fresh fish, and the money goes directly to the fishermen, supporting the local economy and encouraging sustainable practices.
