GREAT CHEFS EVENT SET: Over forty
of Long Island’s top restaurants and chefs are bringing
their signature dishes to Family Service League’s 20th
Annual Great Chefs event, benefitting those affected by Superstorm
Sandy. Join in an afternoon of delicious food, enjoy wines
from around the world and live music on Sunday, December 2,
2-5 p.m. at Crest Hollow Country Club in Woodbury. Among the
first to present a chef’s tasting as a fundraiser, Family
Service League still sets the standard with their Great Chef’s
event. The dining capital of Long Island – Huntington
– is well represented at the event with some or the area’s
top restaurants. Fabio Machado’s Reststar Hospitality
Group, whose Huntington restaurants include Bistro Cassis,
Café Buenos Aires and Bin 56, will receive the Restaurateur
of the Year award. Other honorees for this year’s event
are: North Shore LIJ Hospital President and CEO Michael Dowling,
and State Assemblyman Phil Ramos. To purchase tickets contact
Jennie Sandler-Fiocca at 631-427-3700 x255, or visit www.fsl-li.org
for more information.
OPENING AND CLOSING: Twisted Vine, which opened earlier this
year in the former XO Restaurant on Clinton Avenue, has closed.
Keeping the restaurant count even, La Notte (15 New Street,
Huntington Village 631-683-5595 lanotteristorante.com) has
opened its doors at the space that old-time foodies will remember
as Orlando’s. The family style Italian eatery dazzled
diners during grand opening seatings on Monday. We’ll
keep you posted.
FREE KIDS: No, they’re not giving away kids at Andrea’s
25 of Commack (6300 Jericho Turnpike, Commack 631-486-7400
andreas25.com), but kids do eat free there on Sundays. You
can order one item from the kids menu for each adult entrée
ordered, and they get to make their own desserts in the kitchen.
There is a charge for the dessert.
DINING FOR SANDY RELIEF: Many local restaurateurs have been
doing their part to keep those effected by superstorm Sandy
fueled and fed while they rebuild their neighborhood. Next
they’ll be raising some cold hard cash for relief efforts
with An Evening of Relief, an evening of wining and dining
to benefit Long island victims of Sandy. The event is set
for December 10, 5:30-9:30 p.m. at The Carltun at Eisenhower
Park. The big guns of the industry are on board, so it promises
to be a memorable evening. Tickets are $75 in advance or $90
at the door. Purchase online at http://www.eventbrite.com/org/2963726875
CLUBHOUSE SPECIALS: The Clubhouse (320 West Jericho Turnpike,
Huntington, 631-423-1155 clubhousesteaks.com) Huntington’s
place for steaks, has a few specials that diners can count
on being offered week after week. Wednesday night is Prime
Rib night, with a tasty rosemary and peppercorn crusted version
on the specials board. On Thursday, count on finding a longbone
Colorado ribeye steak for two with carmelized onions on the
menu. Tell them The Long Islander Foodies sent you.
