Pestos with Panache Summer Wrap Up
The weather this summer has been an absolute scorcher, but heat has only helped catapult Pestos with Panache forward with this summer’s events surrounding Pestos with Panache! As you may have read, Pestos has been participating at the SoWa Market in Boston’s South End. While I knew this area was up and coming, and full of eclectic food choices, I didn’t exactly know what I was getting myself into. I must say, that my new venture into the Boston food market scene has been wonderful and the feedback and reaction to my product has been fantastic! When I started this company I hoped that my product would be embraced by the general public, but also knew that my product was unique and probably wouldn’t win every customer over (we all know those picky eaters that just can’t wrap their heads around inventive flavors and combinations!) However, Pestos with Panache has really found a niche in the South End of Boston, because the response and reactions for Pestos has been absolutely amazing! From children to grandparents, and all ages in-between, everyone has their take on their favorite and what inventive dish they were going to create with PWP. Thank you so, so much to all of the lovely people that have come out to the SoWa market this summer. Your responses and thoughtful comments are much appreciated! If you haven’t been out to visit Pestos with Panache at the SoWa Market, there is still time. We will be offering tastings and selling pesto on September 19th and October 17th 2010.

So while Bostonian’s couldn’t stop talking about my pesto, I was able to secure space in a another local shop in New York City, to further expand my reach in NYC. Pestos with Panache is now being carried in the freezer section at Commodities Market in the East Village of New York, very exciting! Commodities is located at 165 First Ave in New York. I couldn’t help but snap a few pictures when I went to drop off a delivery a few weeks ago:

Now this summer wasn’t all work and no play! I have been able to spend some time in the city with my Husband Phillip, here is a picture from my favorite restaurant, Supper.
A little flavor for the inside of Supper!

On top of being able to take advantage of all that the city has to offer, we were also able to go to wine country in California for a few days….

It’s been an extremely busy summer for me as well at Pestos and I am looking forward to an equally successful and exciting Fall and Winter for Pestos with Panache! Thanks so much for checking out the update!
New York Restaurant Report: Supper
A hidden gem of a restaurant, in New York City, is the cozy East Village restaurant simply named, Supper. Located at 156 East Second St, this Northern Italian eatery, is the definition of a hidden gem; it cannot be missed! The moment one enters in this small, yet seemingly always bustling restaurant, one always feel at home. The exposed brick, stone, and dimly lit spot, whose wonderful aroma envelopes, the moment you step in the door, transports you straight to Florence. Simply Divine!
Supper’s menu has an array of menu selections, even for the most discerning of palates! My favorite dish is the Spaghetti al Limone with grilled chicken. This dish is complemented with fresh lemon and finished with Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, absolutely, delectable! At $12.95, this dish is not only delicious, but it is by far, the best bang for your buck, in the extremely expensive New York City restaurant scene. An appetizer not to be missed is The Zucchine Taglietelle, which features wafer thin mandolin sliced zucchini; this dish explodes with garlic, toasted almonds and olive oil! I would love to give a review of their dessert offerings, but I must admit, I have never had the opportunity to partake, as I am always quite full, at meals end!!
Be sure to check out Supper (and take a look at http://www.supperrestaurant.com) for yourself and tweet me to let me know how you like it: @pestoswpanache!
