Gather 'round the Campfire

The adventure of food and wine encompasses so many elements: spicy seasonings, succulent meats, decadent sauces and bold wines. But how about the most basic of ingredients?

Tonight will not be about searing or glazing, pairing or prepping. This evening, as the wind has finally calmed on the North Fork, we will gather around a blazing campfire, roast hot dogs on a stick, enjoy a batch of cheesy macaroni, and rest our glasses on rocks and tree stumps. Getting back to basics in the most simple of ways, is just what is needed for all of us sometimes.

Nature plays a significant role in helping us achieve some R&R, appreciate the work of the day and the delicious bounty that we enjoy. I truly love the experiences from the spectrum of dining atmospheres from the five star Zagat-rated locations to the open air, starry setting of our own backyard around a campfire.
