I’ve noticed that holiday weekends like 4th of July, Labor Day and Memorial Day are getting more and more popular for weddings in the NY area, especially for couples’ whose families are from out of town- it combines a vacation with wedding celebrations. So, with the 4th of July coming up, I thought what better than to inspire our palletes with an Americana Menu as interpreted by Chef Rossi of the Raging Skillet.
Mayra and I have been working with Rossi, as we call her, since we were practically still in training pants, so to speak. (Actually, I’d call those training black dresses). We love her for her fabulous personality and her thoughtful menus and this Americana Supper didn’t dissappoint! Hoping your mouth is watering…. I’d offer up some food porn, but instead I only have pictures of us with the Chef. Food porn forth coming though…..
