It’s been an interesting eight months for Boston chef and restaurateur Chris Douglass.
Icarus, his beloved fine dining restaurant in Boston's South End, closed in July after a run of over 30 years. Rather than mourn the end of an era, Chris spent the remainder of 2009 shuttling back and forth between Ashmont Grill and Tavolo, proactively growing his two casual concept restaurants in the Dorchester neighborhood where he lives. He acted as handyman, host, janitor, bookkeeper, butcher, baker and sommelier.
Effective this week, Douglass will be cooking dinner at the Ashmont Grill every night. A new winter menu debuts today.
Featured entrees include:
* Navajo Stew: hominy, beans, chiles and fry bread ($15)
* Braised Lamb over Pappardelle with dried cherries, gremolata ($17)
* Baked Macaroni & Moody Bleu Smoked Cheese ($15)--I love the name of this cheese!
* Slow-Roasted, Cider-Glazed Pork Belly with Boston baked beans, brown bread and apple slaw ($17)
* Spare Ribs with apricot-chipotle glaze and hush puppies ($16)
* From Pastry Chef Clare Garland: Hazelnut Marjoleine, nutty cake layered with orange buttercream, coated in chocolate ganache, garnished with praline ($8)
