Hot From The Kettle ®
Last year, Hot From The Kettle® attended the Clara Maass Medical Center Foundation’s signature event, A Tasteful Experience.
This year, the event will be held on Monday, November 12, 2012, at the Pleasantdale Chateau in West Orange, NJ. Funds raised will benefit the Medical Center’s Child Life Program which helps children and their families cope with illness and hospitalization.
This just in! Charity event at Chakra, details below:
With many New Jersey residents still without power, water and food, Chakra (W 144 Route 4, Paramus, NJ, www.chakrarestaurant.com, 201-556-1530) is holding a special wine dinner benefiting Sandy relief efforts on November 12 at 6:30pm with a portion of the proceeds donated to the Community Food Bank of New Jersey, which has been working to respond to the needs of the many local residents affected by the devastation.

Outside, the smell of wood burning fireplaces, the hum of generators and a haunting sense of déjà vu filled the damp air. Trees stood shattered or lay uprooted across yards and roads, while phone and power lines hung dangerously low. Inside, eighty percent of Montclair homes were dark and cold, while the refrigerators, ironically, were warm.
In the aftermath of Frankenstorm, residents scrambled for blankets and batteries, while Montclair restaurateurs gathered staff, organized deliveries and opened their doors. In a food-town, like Montclair, it’s easy to take these open doors for granted.
From taco's to Thai food, New Jersey food trucks are establishing a loyal and well-fed following.
Hot From The Kettle® caught up with the Hunger Construction crew while their big red truck was parked near Mountainside Hospital. Owner, Aaron Rosenzweig, along with fellow potato heads, Shegan Rubin and Mav Bell, stuffed our spuds with chunky pastrami, hotdogs, cheese sauerkraut and more!
Halloween is just a few short days away, and with it comes all sorts of sinful sweet-treats. Most of America will probably be on a sugar high from Wednesday until January 1st, when they resolve to quite those little white granules once and for all. But what to do when you want to partake in the autumnal festivities but you’re trying to get a jump-start on your healthy resolutions?
