Knives Out

Here at the store we carry Kikuichi and Sabatier Four Star Elephant Nogent Knives.

The Kikuichi family has been making blades for 700 years. Originally a samurai sword maker, they have been making high quality cutlery for over a century. These knives are made the old fashion way, by hand hammering and forging and never stamped steel. No two Kikuichi knives are the same and they also take and keep an edge far longer than most European knives. They are available in stainless steal and carbon laminate.

Sabatier, in their prime, had over seventy houses producing Nogent style carbon steel knives. Starting in the 1970s Sabatier houses started closing or being bought out by alrger producers who favored lesser quality materials and production methods. The knives we carry were all forged between thirty and sixty years ago and have been culled from the attics and basements of the original houses. They have been assembled with traditional ebony handles and fittings and are quality tools in addition to a piece of history.

We Will Not Eat Cheese: JASPER HILL FARM FEAST

We Will Eat a Pig That Ate a Ton of:

An evening with Jasper Hill Farm's Mateo Kehler

Mateo Kehler, co-owner of Jasper Hill Farm, is a visionary within the American artisan cheese movement. He and his brother Andy not only make five distinctive raw milk cheeses, they have recently completed construction on the largest in-ground cheese maturing complex in the Northeast.

While we enjoy the fruits of Jasper Hill Farm, showcasing one of their whey-fed heritage pigs, Mateo will speak about the Jasper Hill philosophy, the development of their farm and affinage facility, as well as the future of local, sustainable animal products in the Northeast. For more information on Jasper Hill, take a look at this winter's Diner Journal. Dinner will include five courses and wine. Seating is communal and reserved on a pre-paid basis.

Monday, February 4th
6-9:30 pm
$125.00 per person including tax and gratuity

Please list your name and phone number if you are interested in purchasing seats for the dinner. One of our managers will contact you to confirm your seats.

Manager's Log

It felt really great to be back on a night shift after my week of 9 to 5. Marlow had great energy, despite a couple tough customers. I think we definitely made some people unexpectedly happy tonight.

Diner was quiet but I saw some service that was really great. Michael presented a cut of steak to Juliette and Alex who we wondering about the "whole steak thing." They loved their meal and told me that they were going to send us a thank you note tomorrow because it was so great. Michael is totally into the steak discussion and is actively tracking it on the web. Maybe that's just because he got his Internet access on Friday, but I like to think otherwise. Both of our decanters went into service tonight, which I thought was cool.

Note: We had some serious scheduling mishaps last week. I think we can call it all a wash. It does however point to the need for everyone, including bartenders to make a written record of what shifts they are switching, on the schedule bulletin board. Also we need to start talking Tea Pots. We know we need more but lets start paying attention to how we are caring for them. Suggestions are more than welcome.
