Today, 11-11-11, the Orange Squirrel, 412 Bloomfield Avenue, in Bloomfield, celebrates its third birthday. 

Chef and owner, Bloomfield native, Chef Francesco Palmieri is opening the doors from 12 pm -5:30 pm for patrons to celebrate with "a bite & a drink."

Hot From The Kettle is a big fan of Chef Francesco Palmieiri's "simple but not simplistic" fare, and inventive cocktails. If you've never been to the Orange Squirrel, read the review, check out the pics, and watch the videos.

Congratulations Chef Palmieri!
