New Menus & The Platinum Plate

Last week was full of interesting things going on at Brookstone Grille.
We finally finished the new dinner menu and put it into service on Friday night.
I want to start by thanking my two Sous Chef's Justin & Billy for all the work that they put in getting this menu up and running. Also the kitchen crew had to make some quick adjustments but they executed the menu on Saturday flawlessly while we had a very solid night. Everyone was very excited about the Platinum Plate award we had just be given by the TV Diner and congratulations go out to everyone at Brookstone Grille for making it happen.
The food served on Saturday represented the best of the menu at Brookstone Grille. Thanks to the T.V. Diner spot & review on Saturday, www.tvdiner.com/brookstonegrille. , alot of guests went for the recommended items. I think we sold 30 Appetizer samplers!
We saw people really dining and enjoying wine with dinner. Some times you get alot of burgers and wings from the bar but guests were branching out and trying some of the more creative items on the menu.

Last week we also had a photo shoot day for the upcoming Phantom Gourmet segment that will be airing soon, stay tuned for the actual date. This was alot of fun to create 15 separate items to be shot. Steve the producer & camera man did an awesome job of capturing the food and got some great shots. I'll try to put some up if I can figure it out.

Thanks to everyone who congratulated us on the Platinum Plate award, but as I told the staff the winning it is the easy part. Now the work of maintaining that level begins and that is the fun part.

Thanks
Chef David
