THINK PINK: During October, pink touches
will abound on the menu at Prime - An American Kitchen and
Bar (117 New York Ave., Huntington 631-385-1515 www.restaurantprime.com)
and all the restaurants of the Bohlsen Restaurant Group. For
national Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the Bohlsen family
will donate $1-2 from each Think Pink menu item ordered at
Prime, H2O Seafood Grill, Tellers Chophouse, Verace and Beachtree.
Each restaurant will support its local breast cancer coalition,
said Prime’s Michael Bohlsen. “The cause is so near
to our hearts as a family and as an employer. The work local
breast cancer coalitions do is very helpful to the people
in the communities in which we live and work.” Prime’s
Think Pink orders will benefit the Huntington Breast Cancer
Action Coalition (www.hbcac.org). Pink touches are at the
heart of the dinner menus co-designed by Corporate Chef Cornelius
Gallagher with Executive Chef Gregg Lauletta. There will be
appetizers of spicy shrimp roll with pink watermelon radish
and avocado; creamless tomato bisque with paprika, yogurt
and claw crabmeat; frisee and pink grapefruit with pancetta
and pomegranate dressing. Main courses include salmon that
is pan-seared with pearl onions, pink lentils, bacon and red
wine, and, grilled with mustard greens, wild rice and pomegranate
reduction; a broiled Berkshire pork chop with roasted potato,
spinach and papaya mustard, and tupelo honey glazed pork tenderloin
with pink lady apple chutney, sweet potatoes and pink peppercorns.
Pastas range from fresh rotini with lobster, squash blossoms
and roasted elephant garlic to shrimp penne a la vodka with
oven-dried tomatoes, broccolini and pink sauce. Sweet endings
include strawberries with pink Champagne zabaglione, pear
raspberry oatmeal streusel, pumpkin cheesecake with candied
pumpkin seeds, pomegranate sorbet with peppermint sauce and
red velvet cake. Even the drinks are pink, with a special
selection of rosé wines by the glass, and cocktails
like the Pink Cougar and the French Kiss.
