From Wikipedia: A French press, also known as a cafetière, cafetière à piston, caffettiera a stantuffo, press pot, coffee press, or coffee plunger, is a coffee brewing device, although it can also be used for other tasks. The earliest known device was patented in 1852 in France by Jacques-Victor Delforge and Henri-Otto Mayer.
Au Gratin Salem
Finally Au Gratin Salem has returned to the weekday Breakfast world. Paninis and Burritos are on the menu. Yesterday morning #TheBaldOne dropped in to see what’s what.
A Corned Beef Hash Panini with cheddar, tomato, and Russian dressing and a fancy bottle of Pellegrino bubbly water was ordered, consumed, and enjoyed greatly.
This Sausage Breakfast Burrito at Au Gratin Salem fed #OldManBill either just before or just after his big 40th Birthday Bash.
The ever adventurous #WeddingPlanner hit Au Gratin Salem recently and had the Buffalo Mac & Cheese. When asked to describe the meal in detail so as to attract your attention and give you reason to visit Au Gratin yourself, she stated very clearly…
… “WOW?”
As new spots are opening in town #TheBaldOne is trying to stay on top of things. Au Gratin Salem has been open for about a month now, and on Saturday night past it was time for a second visit. The dining room is brightly lit, and decorated nicely, with seating for 15 or so guests. Overall it’s a great build out that makes efficient use of available space to include a brand new kitchen, and pristine rest room.
The menu feature soups, salads, a variety of paninis, mac & cheese options, a few lobster dishes, and a selection of fries and other sides. There is also a plant-based menu which can be viewed in the last photo.
Our man with the white beard started with a soup, Italian Penicillin. This bowl of shredded chicken, pureed veggie broth, pasta, parmesan, and perfectly portioned cracked black pepper is ideal for this cold and flu season. A bucket of this soup is our suggested prescription for whatever ails you. The Crispy Brussels came along for the ride. These were nicely toasted in a Ponzu sauce, and provided a little contrasting crunch to the soup.
Next up for the main course was the Chili Mac & Cheese. This was our first experience with Campanelle pasta. Shaped like a small cone with ruffled edges it looks somewhat like a small bell and it holds onto the thick, creamy four cheese blend and additional cheddar quite well. Onions, sour cream, and cilantro provide a good mix of textures and flavors that are accentuated by fresh sliced jalapeños and crunchy tortilla strips. This dish sent our BaldGuy onto Mac & Cheese ecstasy.
Put this lovely little spot on your list.
