Hot From The Kettle ®
This morning the crew from ABC was on location at Samba Montclair, shooting a segment for Neighborhood Eats.
Owner, Ilson Goncalves, was a little nervous but as charming as ever, and ready for his major network debut! The ever present Hot From The Kettle was there!
The segment is anticipated to air on the 5 o'clock news on September 14th.
Here are some pics.
Brazilian fare has come to Montclair! After months of preparation, Samba Montclair, hosted it’s soft opening last night. Since opening the space at 7 Park St., exactly one year ago, as Park St. Gourmet, owner, 30-year-old, Ilson Goncalves, who trained with the acclaimed Zod Arifai, has developed a loyal following, some of which came out last night as “followers” of Ilson.
Samba seamlessly blends the old with the new, resulting in a warm, intimate, amd elegantly simplistic atmosphere. Many of the windows and cabinets are reclaimed, the copper and silver antiques decorate the walls and counters, and most notably, the tables are set with cloth napkins topped with mixed-and-matched silver plated antique flatware. Charming!
