FIRST FRIDAY
O
ur First Friday events have been such an enormous success this year, that we’ve already set the dates for two events next year: May 2nd and October 3rd. If you’d like to participate with a booth to promote your business, sell your wares and meet new clients, please contact ggrimes@tuckermott.com. Participation is free for Zonolite businesses, with a suggested donation of $50 to our charity partner, Nickel Bottom Garden.
C
hefs Anne Quatrano and Clifford Harrison opened their second restaurant venture, FloatAway Cafe, on Zonolite Road in the late 90’s, and it’s been quietly thriving ever since. The beautifully understated bistro has seen great press recently, which may have something to do with its new chef, Todd Immel, who got his start at Restaurant Daniel and Table 1280 before he moved to Star Provisions to run the meat counter. Under the guidance of Chef Todd, FloatAway’s menu has retained all of the seasonal emphasis for which it has long been known, while also taking on a bit of Todd’s own personal flavor.
The Cafe’s recent great press may also be due in part to the fact that owner Anne Quatrano’s first cookbook, Summerland, becomes available October 1st. Lauded as a cookbook that makes each month’s harvest a reason to celebrate, Summerland features more than 100 of Chef Anne’s best recipes and entertaining ideas. If you see Chef Anne walking the halls (she’ll be the one wearing the gorgeous linen smock and driving the faux-wood-panelled Star Provisions van), be sure to congratulate her. If you’ve purchased a cookbook and would like her to sign it, e-mail ggrimes@tuckermott.com and I’ll be happy to assist!
