More on Batali in Westchester
An update to yesterday's post on the Batali/Bastianich venture opening in Westchester: LoHud.com reports that the new restaurant will resemble L.A.'s Mozza and serve Roman- and Neapolitan-style cusine (including pizza). "This will be more like a saloon (or tavern) feel, like Mozza," said Joe Bastianich. Why Port Chester? "We’re getting older," said chef Andy Nusser. "Plus, I think we’re really needed up here." Added Bastianich: "It’s like a retirement plan for chefs." Out of nostalgia, the restaurant will keep the site's original name, Tarry Lodge.
