Take A Swing At Sunday Dinner.

2013-05-17T21:01:43Z

Unlike Tiger and Sergio there will be no dispute this Sunday about when you can lift your fork and get into your $20 Dinner. In addition to our regular offerings on May 19th you could choose to hit the fairway with Chioggia Beets, Mint, Peas, Queso Fresco and Pine Nuts! Avoid the sand trap and enjoy Andouille-Cornbread Stuffed Chicken Breast with Okra and Tomato Stew as your entree instead. And finally, sink it in the hole with an amazing little Pistachio Cake, Strawberries and Whipped Cream. Your cocktail caddy Michael knows just what club to use.

Michael Invents Most Refreshing Cocktail Ever.

Don’t call him a “mixologist,” he really dislikes it. Instead, call him a mad cocktail scientist whose love of quality spirits and unusual potion has resulted in another splendid concoction, and just in time for Summer. You won’t need any knowledge of the Periodic Table to enjoy Summer School, a crystal clear yet intoxicatingly complex compound of Blanc Vermouth, Mezcal and Orange Liquer. Let us make you one. You’ll enjoy class more than ever, and there’s no homework. Thanks to Ankur for the photo.

Start Your Cycle Out Right.

We’ve got a huge crowd favorite in store for you this Monday, May 20th for Laundry Day. Initiate another brilliant week for yourself at Nook with Cajun Meatloaf, Mashed Potatoes and Gravy. And just so you can get your veggies in, we’ll throw in a Market Salad with Pickled Shallot, Bacon, Corn, Avocado and Creamy Herbsaint Dressing while we’re at it. All that for just $12! Regular menu available as well for your not so meatloaf minded friends.

Do It, Take Your Mama Out Tonight...

What do Moms really love? A fine celebration at Nook of course! Delight your Mom on Mother’s Day with this Sunday’s $20 Dinner. Start her off with a salad of Market Leaf Lettuces, Pickled Shallot, Bacon, Corn, Avocado and Creamy Herbsaint Dressing. Next up, we honor Mom the Southern way with Fried Oysters, Spicy Tasso and Okra Stew and Stone Ground Grits. And to show our love of Moms everywhere we offer Rhubarb Shortbread with Vanilla Bean Creme Anglaise for dessert. Michael will be on hand making drinks and mothering a cocktail.

2013-05-10T21:05:25Z

After partying all weekend for Mother’s Day you’ll have a lot of cleanup to do. Take a break from the recovery with an extra special Laundry Day offering.

See you there (left: Julie enjoys a recent Laundry Day offering).

Robots Love Le Petit Roy

2013-05-10T21:04:10Z

Check out this lovely Rhone style Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre blend from Jean Royer of Chateauneuf du Pape. This is a cool French wine. It drinks with all the hipness of that new Daft Punk track that everyone is freaking out about, yet also with the mellowness of Air. Le Petit Roy is graceful and just a little inky and jammy with a nice presence of dark fruit. You’ll pick up hints of black currant and cassis while you’re enjoying it’s silky mouthfeel. Watch out, it might make you want to start smoking.

The Case For Sunday Dinner.

2013-05-03T20:46:47Z

Sunday is a lovely day to meet your friends for a meal at Nook Bistro. With our city’s traffic dialed down a notch from the normal volume, you can skip right over from wherever you might be enjoying the afternoon. If that’s not enough to convince you, here’s a three course argument in favor of your attendance! This Sunday, May 5th, be the beneficiary of Chef James’ legwork at the Farmers Market. Start off with a salad of Snap Peas, Arugula, Basil, Mint and Goat Cheese. Next, deliberate over a little Italian influenced Southern cooking as Tilapia with Shrimp-Eggplant Dressing and Pan Sauce tables the motion. A Rhubarb Shortbread with Vanilla Bean Creme Anglaise closes the argument. All of the above for just $20! Chief Justice of Cocktails, Michael, will be on hand to skillfully craft the drink of your choosing.

Laundry Day, Seis de Mayo

2013-05-03T20:45:44Z

Chef James tells me that it’s a tradition down South to cure your Cinco de Mayo hangover with Red Beans and Rice. Apparently this custom began because it was an easy thing to make while you cleaned up your serapes and beaded necklaces after the previous evening’s revelry. Take a break from the wash with us this Monday and enjoy Red Beans and Rice with Tasso and Andouille, and a Petite Market Salad for $12. I can’t think of a better recovery plan!

Nook Fires Up Gumbotron For Laundry Day!

2013-04-28T21:37:54Z

Get your week started off right at Nook and take a break from the wash at the same time. Join us this Monday, April 29th for a big bowl of Chicken and Sausage Gumbo accompanied by a Petite Market Salad. It’s the all in one meal known as Laundry Day. We’ll also be featuring $5 Sazeracs all night this Monday only. It's a fine day for laundry and eating! And no, we don't really have a Jumbotron or a Gumbotron, but we'd rather be eating Gumbo instead, so it all works out.

One Year Of Sunday Dinners!

2013-04-26T21:26:11Z

The $20 Sunday Dinner at Nook celebrates its first birthday this weekend! Come join us on April 28th as we commemorate the event with an exotic three course extravaganza full of Spring flavor and replete with rebirth metaphors. Rejuvenation begins with Cannellini Beans, Radish, Parsley, Olives and White Anchovies. Next it’s an all new Roasted Lamb Shoulder with English Peas and Za'atar Tomato Gravy! And a delicate Buttermilk Panna Cotta with Roasted Rhubarb and Shortbread sprouts up elegantly for dessert! In honor of the event we’ll be featuring a selection of $5 wines by the glass and $20 bottles to help get you in the mood.
