The U.S. Open is in full swing now. For many New Yorkers this is the quintessential end-of-summer event. The website Metromix New York has a fabulous food tour slide show of the Open's food offerings along with fairly detailed descriptions of each. They interviewed Michael Lockard, executive chef of Levy Restaurants, who is overseeing the entire U.S. Open dining program. As New Yorkers, we don't really know the Levy Restaurant Group because their restaurants are in Chicago (Bistro 110, Spiaggia, etc.), Los Angeles, Orlando and a few other cities. But they have been doing the food at the U.S. Open since 2005. (Kind of funny, you'd think a New York restaurant group would do it...)
Here are some tasty looking highlights:
Food Court - Lobster Roll (no mayo! special sauce with chili sauce, tarragon and scallions - yum!)
Food Court - Crepe with gruyere, spinach and caremelized onions
Wine Bar - Tomato Bread with manchego and serrano ham
Aces - Charred Salmon Entree with mixed beans and black sesame vinaigrette
OMG, seriously good food, right! How often can you say that at a sporting event? The U.S. Open is like a food festival and a sports event... I guess that's part of why I love going.
