1) Spring has sprung, and Easter is right around the corner. For those celebrating, Vermilion in downtown Boston is making a special Sunday appearance, opening its doors to make brunch a welcoming experience for everyone at the table. Guests are invited to enjoy a family-style prix-fixe menu designed for sharing and celebrating together.
Priced at $95 per person and available Easter Sunday, April 5 from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m., the menu features a generous two-course spread with family-style sides.
For the first course, guests can begin with traditional brunch favorites including Tropical Fruit Salad, mixed with pineapple, kiwi and Florida citrus, Mango Smoothie Parfait, Deviled Eggs and a handful of treats from the Pastry Basket, accompanied by homemade jam and whipped butter.
Moving onto the mains, guests can select their choice of Avocado Toast, Seared Salmon, Egg Sandwich, Julia Child Omelet, Steak and Eggs, Eggs Benedict, NY Style French Toast, Boston Cream Pancakes, Cobb Salad, Prime Rib French Dip, Petite Filet ($15 supplement) or Lamb Chops ($15 supplement). You will also get two Sides, including Breakfast Potatoes and Nueske's Bacon.
Reservations are recommended and can be made via OpenTable.
2) Chef Paul O’Connell’s legendary Chez Henri Cubano sandwich was once beloved in Cambridge, but since the beloved restaurant had closed in 2013, the sandwich was unavailable. The Cubano was layered with slow-roasted pork and melted cheese on crusty bread, then pressed and grilled. However, the Cubano will return for one night only, when Chef O’Connell, invited by Chef Patricia Estorino, hosts a special pop-up at Gustazo Cuban Café in Cambridge on April 15, from 5pm-9pm. The restaurant sits just steps from the former location of Chez Henri.
“We’re honored to host Chef Paul and give diners another chance to experience this iconic sandwich, while also giving a new generation the opportunity to try this cult favorite for the first time,” said Chef Patricia Estorino, chef/owner of Gustazo. “The Chez Henri Cubano is part of Boston’s food history, and we’re thrilled to help bring it back, even if just for one night.”
Following the pop-up, Chef Patricia Estorino will introduce her own take on the Cubano, offered every Wednesday at Gustazo Cambridge. The sandwich includes slow roasted pork, Gruyere cheese, dijon, pickles, smoked paprika aioli, pressed on an Iggy's Italian sub roll, served with boniato chips.
Cost: $18 per sandwich
