Artist and designer Malcolm Brooks has teamed up with Plum TV to produce a
new cooking show entitled “Nantucket Food & Wine”, featuring chefs from Nantucket
restaurants and catering companies. Several half hour pilots have already been shot
and feature chefs Tom from the Club Car, Tim from Cinco, and Matt and All from
Company of the Cauldron. Each chef will create his or her favorite appetizer and
entrée.

The host of the show is Mark Donato of Sconset Market and Nantucket Wine Festival fame. 8 to 10 additional shows will be shot this winter and spring, which will air next summer with local and national sponsors.

A little LoLa vignette: The other night, all the bar stools had been removed from the bar side for a private party. As the party was winding up, I was standing at the bar as the staff was bringing the bar stools in from the cold. One landed just to my right. As I started to slide into it, one of the staff, Fernando, tapped me on the shoulder and pointed me to the stool on my left. “The other one is still too cold,” he told me. You can’t teach that stuff.

On Saturday night, a few hundred of Greg and Jessica Mehringers friends gathered to raise money to help pay their medical bills and living expenses while Jessica goes through testing and treatment for cancer. When all was counted, the total raised came to over $100,000, in certainly one of the most successful and generous fund raisers I’ve seen here, with virtually no expenses. Special note must be made of the Rose & Crown owners and staff, who this year alone have hosted events raising hundreds of thousands of dollars for islanders in need.

This new site makes it easier to purchase photos of Island events. 100% of all proceeds for all photos sold of this event will be sent to the Mehringers.
