Cabin Fever Music Festival

By Jessica Mackin-Cipro

The Cabin Fever Music Festival first hit the East End 10 years ago. The festival was established by Brendon Henry, Seth Farrell, and Paul Fallo as a way to spotlight local musical talent.

Now in its tenth year, the festival continues to feature local music in area bars and restaurants throughout The Hamptons during the month of February.

“I am so happy with how we went from a dream of how to help promote our insanely talented local artists and year round venues, to an institution every winter on the East End,”

said Henry in an interview with The Independent last year.

Staple venues include Buckley’s Inn Between and Doran’s in Hampton Bays and the Southampton Publick House. Southampton Publick House opens the festival on Friday with performances by Souliztik and Nick Kerzner at 9:30 PM. On Saturday, visit Buckley’s Inn Between for Flak Jacket, The Pandemics, and Bad Mary at 9:30 PM. New venues added to the festival this year are MJ Dowlings, which hosts The Realm and Earthreal at 9:30 PM on Saturday, February 18, and North

Sea Tavern. North Sea Tavern will host one of two Sunday matinee shows on February 19 with Clearwater Stills, Warm Needles, The Avoiders, Adams Atoms, and The Atlantic & Eye all performing, starting at 3 PM. The second matinee show will be at Jimmy C’s in Hampton Bays on Sunday, February 26, with The Tweekers, Black Leaf, The Shipwrecks, Felix, and more.

Cabin Fever offers a little something for everyone and a great way to beat those winter doldrums.

An Acoustic Night will take place at Cowfish in Hampton Bays on

Wednesday, February 15, at 8 PM. The show includes Black Leaf, Chetflix and Nill, and Andrew Cooper.

Lantern Sound Recording Stage will present Mick Hargreaves and Grand Theft Aloha, Kyle Horn, and Craig Whitney at Duran’s on Friday, February 24, around 9 PM. This year’s festival is sponsored by promotion experts at Hubba Productions and Clambake Lager Beer, a local micro brew. Product will be available at all the shows.

Venus enters the feisty sign of Aries on Friday and along with Mars (planet of action and sexual energy) we may start to feel more enthusiastic about love and work.

Jupiter (planet of expansion and enthusiasm) starts to go retrograde on Monday. Since it is in the sign of Libra and will be moving backward until June, we may revisit old relationship territory or renegotiate our relationship to the outside world. Mercury (planet of expression) enters Aquarius on Tuesday releasing us from the deep sentiment of Pisces and we begin to see things somewhat more clearly. We become chatty, too.

Union Cantina

week we opted to hold off on the tequila bar and stick with a set of mimosas.

They happen to be two-for-one on Sundays.

We shared a few dishes, starting with the avocado and hearts of palm salad, which include sweet corn, grape tomatoes, and an oregano lime vinaigrette. It was a welcoming, light start to our meal with naturally delicious flavors.

Next up was the taco trio, where diners can choose three tacos off the taco menu. We decided on the pollo tirada (chicken) taco which included black beans, corn, tomato salsa, and quest blanco. The pargo (red snapper) taco was Caribbean spiced and included cucumber pico de gallo and black beans. The vientre de cerdo (pork belly) taco rounded out the trio with jicama slaw and tomatillo salsa.

All three tacos were delicious morsels of goodness.

It’s an optimal dish to order if you

Owners of the Southampton Social Club Ian Duke and David Hilty opened Union Cantina in Summer 2016. Social Club’s Executive Chef Scott Kampf has created an innovative modern Mexican menu in the former Southampton Publick House space in Southampton.

Chef Kampf has been featured on the legendary television show “Iron Chefs of America” and brings his farmto-table style to the new eatery.

Union Cantina, which features a 400 Rabbits Tequila Bar, is reminiscent of a prohibition-era speakeasy. The tequila bar carries over 100 types of tequila adding to the unique signature cocktail menu consisting of sangrias, punches, and frozen drinks. Try the Black & Blue ‘Rita which includes Don Julio anejo tequila, fresh blue and blackberry puree, cherries, and lime sour, served on the rocks.

Since it was brunch time when my friend and I visited Union Cantina last

want to try out a few of the tacos on the menu or can’t commit to just one dish.

We finished with the marinated aracherras (skirt steak) quesadillas made with a Mexican cheese blend, black beans, and salsa vera cruz, served with quacamole, pico de Gallo, and sour cream.

Also on the menu, the deconstructed enchiladas are a Union Cantina specialty. They offer a variation suited for all appetites including the marinated aracherras, the robalo rayados (striped bass), the picante camrones (spicy shrimp), the pollo tirada (pulled chicken), and vegetales (vegetables).

Desserts include Mexican specialties such as churros, tres leches cake, and sweet plantain fritters.

Ever ything we ordered was executed simply and wonderfully. And we can’t wait to go back and try out the tequila. Union Cantina’s festive atmosphere makes it a perfect place to go with family, a group of friends, or on a date.

Crispy Fish Tacos With Pineapple Chutney, Carrot, And Radish Ingredients (serves 4) 1 ½ lb mahi mahi fillet 1 cup all purpose flour 2 c Panko breadcrumbs 4 eggs (whisked) 1 pineapple (trimmed and rough chopped) 1 jalapeño 3 tbsp mayonnaise 1 tbsp Old Bay seasoning 1 white onion 1 bunch of cilantro 1 head of Bibb lettuce 1 tsp turmeric 1 tbsp curry powder 3 limes 4 corn tortillas ½ c radish (thinly sliced) 2 carrots (peeled and thinly sliced) 4 c canola oil salt and pepper to taste

Method To begin this recipe you want to

slice four and a half inch thick strips of the mahi mahi. Bread each one by dusting each slice in the seasoned all purpose flour, then dipping in the whisked egg, and finally coating each in the seasoned Panko bread crumbs. When you have finished breading the fish, set them in the refrigerator until you are ready to fry them.

To make the pineapple chutney, start by sweating chopped onion and jalapeno over medium high heat with a little bit of oil. When they have become soft and translucent add the pineapple and turmeric then cover and cook over medium heat for another 10 minutes.

Add the entire mixture to the food processor along with half the bunch of cilantro and pulse the mixture four or five times until everything has become nicely incorporated.

Spread over a sheet tray and into

the refrigerator to cool.

Heat the four cups of canola oil to 350 degrees in a large enough pot that the oil only fills it half way. While the oil is heating, dress the thinly sliced carrots and radish by simply mixing the juice of one lime with the mayonnaise and the Old Bay seasoning. Toss the vegetables in the dressing.

When the oil is hot, fry the fish for about three minutes or until it

E

becomes golden brown and floats on top of the hot oil. Place the fish on a towel. Once it is cooked you can assemble the tacos.

Heat each tortilla over an open flame. Spread a healthy portion of the pineapple chutney over the tortilla. Place a large leaf of Bibb lettuce over the chutney followed by the fish. Fold the taco and top with the radish and carrot. Garnish with a sprig of cilantro and enjoy.
