Hot From The Kettle ®
With Pig & Prince grabbing so many of the local foodie headlines, everyone missed the other major porcine news: Elevation Burger introduced Organic Bacon!
Elevation Burger holds a special place on our palates because their motto “Ingredients Matter” isn’t just a slick slogan created by an ad agency, it actually has some meat behind it - literally!
Hot From The Kettle has got two of Monclair's most talented chefs, Michael Carrino, chef and owner of Restaurant Passionne, 77 Walnut St. Montclair, and Chef Tre Goshal from Market, 12 Church St., to share some their most coveted, and remarkably easy, Super Bowl recipes with us.
So forget the box of frozen apps and tubs of microwave dips, and give these a try. I’m pretty sure they’ll satisfy the most discerning foodie.
People are passionate about their meat - especially when it's sizzling hot and slapped between a bun.
Hot From The Kettle is brainstorming to compile a list of the best burgers in northern New Jersey.
The list will be transformed into a Baristanet poll containing the eight most frequently mentioned burger joints.
Here are the rules:
Much to the dismay of Baristanet’s hyper-local die hards, Hot From The Kettle left Baristaville city limits, and drove north on the Parkway to the retail hub of Bergen County – Paramus, NJ. Our destination was Chakra, 144 West State Route 4, Paramus, approximately 11 miles from the geographical center Montclair.
Some restaurants are romantic, but Chakra is more than that – - it’s unabashedly hot. With soaring ceilings, cushy, plush “bungalow” banquettes, and cocktails like “Tantric Lemonade,” “Gin Sin” and “Pama Sutra”, Chakra is decadent, hedonistic, and sexy beyond good behavior.
