Bucks Food Calendar: February 22, 2013

A week full of wine, food, cooking classes, markets and supper clubs. Where to begin?

I love this relatively new development of local supper clubs. These are once weekly (or less frequent) get togethers with special prix fixe menus and a social atmosphere. The Swan Hotel Supper Club Social reappears this Thursday at Anton’s at the Swan Hotel in Lambertville. The set menu is inspired by James Beard and includes bacon and leek tart, followed by chicken with 40 cloves of garlic and finally maple pound cake for dessert. The price is $35 per person including tax and gratuity, and prepaid reservations are required. The social begins at 6:30 pm and dinner is at 7 pm. Reach them at 609.397.1960. Or check out the Wednesday night supper club at The Raven, with executive chef Wayne Surline providing a 3-course meal and entertainment by Dwayne Dunlevy. That’s got to be fun. It’s also called the “Wayne & Dwayne Show.” See their website for details. Finally, there is the Lumberville General Store Supper Club every Saturday and Sunday evening, with a prix fixe 3-c0urse dinner for $18.95 (BTW, this was originally run by the Wayne & Dwayne duo). Their website lists the menu for upcoming dates.

Speaking of supper clubs, you may remember from the past the Kindle Cafe, a pop-up supper club that usually met at Rojo’s Roastery in Lambertville. Chef Vincent Peterson prepared gourmet vegetarian and vegan dishes using local ingredients. Now he’s opening a restaurant in New Hope (yay!) this Thursday, February 28 at 7 East Ferry Street. The restaurant will be open Wednesdays through Sunday from 6 pm to 9 pm. See their website for menus and more information. [Update 3/11/13: Rumor is Vincent Peterson has left the restaurant.] With Sprig & Vine, also in New Hope, and Caffe Galleria – which has a lot of vegetarian and vegan options – the area is getting a nice collection of vegetarian restaurants.

Also in the news, Bowman’s Tavern, one of our favorite hang-outs, has new owners. Partners Michael Livelsverger and James Seward met while both worked at Bobby Simone’s in Doylestown. Not many changes yet but they hope to source more locally, which is always good news. See Susan Yeske‘s article in the Bucks County Herald this week.

To market, to market. The Wrightstown Farmers’ Mini-Winter Market takes place this Saturday, February 23 from 10 am to 11 am at the usual location. This is the last week for the Ottsville Indoor Farmers’ Market at Linden Hill Gardens. You’ll find all their wonderful vendors there this Saturday also, from 10 am to 1 pm. Look for the Ottsville market to open their regular season in late April. At the Stockton Market on Sunday, Brian Held from Brian’s in Lambertville will be doing a demo all day.
