IntoxiKate Dinner @ Fig and Olive
Tuesday, July 15th • 6:30 p.m.
696 White Plains Rd, Scarsdale
$40 includes three course dinner + family style crostinis + wine
There’s been more than a few NYC “chain” restaurants who have dared to venture north and even less who have transitioned and adapted to fit the needs of Westchester diners. Fig & Olive has accomplished both in Scarsdale, pairing their classic Mediterranean flavors their chic dining space, accommodating even those who like to dine al fresco.
General Manager Paul Pizzonia—no stranger to the Westchester restaurant industry—strives to make the eatery more just than a post-shopping lunch spot. While there’s plenty of that to go around, Pizzonia offers music in the evenings, as well as weekday deals, to encourage the dinner crowd to start with a glass of wine and finish the evening with a taste of what Fig & Olive has to offer.
And they offer a lot. Creating seasonal menus that highlight some of the best local bounty, Fig & Olive’s menu ranges from small bites perfect for a girls’ night to more comprehensive meals.
Your meal always starts with a range of olive oil tastings—something executive chef Pascal Lorange takes seriously. And if that complimentary first “course” isn’t enough to convince you that Fig & Olive is all about those finer details, their dishes will keep you coming back for more.
Case and point: their collection of crostinis. These small bites showcase perfectly how they combine just a few ingredients for a winning combo. IntoxiKate favorites include the prosciutto, ricotta, fig, olive and walnut; the crab, tomato, avocado and apple aioli (pictured here); and the shrimp, avocado, cilantro and tomato. Pure bliss.
While the Pizzonia created a special tasting menu specifically for IntoxiKate followers (see the menu and IntoxiKate recommended dishes), there are a few other favorites on the summer menu you don’t want to miss…
The melone and burrata appetizer (pictured below), for example, is an unexpected pairing of the soft cheese, Cavaillon melon, tomato and arugula topped with a basil-olive oil emulsion. Upgrade the dish with a little prosciutto, and you’ve got a dish that covers all the bases—that creamy cheese, salty meat and sweet melon.
Fig & Olive offers several pasta dishes, and they execute them well. The goat cheese ravioli and topped with a crispy zucchini blossom takes the cake with a parmesan shaved ricotta salata.
IntoxiKate Dinner
Tuesday, July 15th, IntoxiKate is hosting a dinner at Fig & Olive, offering a tasting of their summer menu. The $40 per person dinner include three courses (guests choose an appetizer, entree and dessert from the menu) as well as family-style crostinis and a glass of wine.

Before hitting the beach with the kids, stock up on those Farmer’s Market goodies! Stop by the Down to Earth Farmers Market in Rye, which pops up in the parking lot behind the stores on Purchase Street. Rain or shine, you can enjoy vendors offering the best seafood, olive oil, pickles, falafel and produce. {That beach lunch is packed and ready to go… Pick up some Mediterranean favorites from Taiim Falafel Shack!} The market starts at 8:30 a.m. and runs until 2 p.m.
I truly believe in the law of attraction. People with similar energies and beliefs are just naturally brought together. And I believe that’s how I met Tessa Edick.
Tessa Edick is changing lives by challenging us to think about the way we eat. As founder of FarmOn!, a 501C3 organization, she’s creating a culinary collaboration between farmers, schools and colleges (Including the Cornell University School of Agriculture), celebrity chefs (did someone say Jean-Georges Vongerichten?) and business owners, small and large. Why? She’s pulling resources and funding, creating educational programs, and shifting the area’s focus to farmers—or, as she likes to call them, “starm-ers”—to raise focus on the importance of eating local.
From July to September, FarmOn! (along with Friends of the Farmer) is hosting three celebrity chef and music events in the Hudson Valley (see below for details) to raise awareness and support for local farms. I caught up recently with Edick, to ask her about these efforts as well as her eating habits.
I’m nothing short of being totally #inspired.
IntoxiKate: How did you get your start in the food industry?
Edick: In 1999, I owned my own food company. Back then, “organic” wasn’t a buzzword, but that’s what my product was; I wanted to reinvent jarred pasta sauce without using canned products. I used only fresh, local ingredients to produce tomato sauces and pestos. The product became very popular. I made TV appearances and was also on Oprah’s “O List.” When I sold the product to a bigger company, I started working with other chefs on their food products.
Why did you shift your focus to farmers?
I felt the farmer was getting the short end of the stick—they never get money upfront, they have no visibility or recognition. In 2001, I bought a house in the Hudson Valley. I was having dinner parties with friends, and using local ingredients. My guests kept asking about my recipes, but it wasn’t that. The food was better because fresh ingredients taste better. The farmer gets up at 4 a.m. to feed us. I wanted to be a cheerleader for the farmer.
Edick Inspires:
“If you’re making a plan that you can complete in a lifetime,
you’re not thinking big enough.”
How does FarmOn! help?
We’re focused on repositioning the thinking for buying local, and starting that with children. We’ve created educational outreach programs to raise awareness. There’s a scholarship available for the Cornell University School of Agriculture funded by FarmOn! to help promote careers in agriculture. We’re placing children on farms to help them understand the business of food, and challenging them to come up with innovative ways to grow the business.
We’re also pairing up with businesses in all industries to create really amazing events and initiatives. For example, we’re talking with people in the fashion industry, we’re working with Disney to create children’s events, and we’re working with the NBA to help promote super foods making super athletes. (See FarmOn!’s July events below.)
Tell me about your philosophy towards food.
I want to connect with the food I’m eating. I want trust the person that is making my food. I want to know the person, I want to know the animal, how he lives, what kind of soil he’s in, what kind of water he’s drinking… That’s the big part of flavor and taste in life. There’s a wellness component you can attach to it.
Edick Inspires:
“If you ate today, thank a farmer.”
What does your daily diet look like?
I live by what I call the 70/30 rule. The majority of my focus is on local, fresh ingredients. But when I go to a ball game and grab a hot dog, I know that meat isn’t coming from where I usually source my food. And that’s fine. I’m also not going to have dinner at a friend’s house and demand where they get their groceries. When I eat at home, I use products from local farmers markets. I’m also part of a CSA. I’m connecting with how my food is made and grown. When I visit these farms, I have a great time, but my main goal is optimizing nutrition. That makes me thankful for healthy food, and thankful for the people committed to making it. We’re really luck to live in New York state, because we can source local food pretty much all year round. But just think... If everyone in the country decided to use one farm fresh ingredient for one meal every day, imagine the difference that would make…
Edick Inspires:
“If you’re in the know, if you’re informed, YOU can make a difference.”
What are some easy ways people can start adapting local ingredients into their lifestyle?
1. Get away from thinking it’s too expensive. How much do you value your health? Good food can’t be cheap.
2. Stop thinking it’s inconvenient. Go to a farm. You can get everything you need there. Connect with your community and know where your food is coming from.
3. Use common sense. Pay attention and ask questions. (For some simple questions you can ask your local organic resource, tune in tomorrow!)

{IntoxiKate} How long ago did you start Broken Bow Brewery?
{Kristen Stone} The brewery officially launched in August of 2013.
I know it’s a family affair. What’s your secret for running a successful family business?
I think it is mutual respect and encouraging each other to develop their area of responsibility to the very best of their abilities. The brewing is an obvious responsibility, but running a business is very multi dimensional and each area is important. So we make sure to treat our administrative work, marketing and tasting room experience with the same seriousness and attention to detail that we do brewing.
What’s the inspiration behind some of your beers?
It started with personal tastes because we were brewing for ourselves. Some members of the family enjoy dark styles, such as our Broken Heart Stout and Nut Brown Ale, while others are “hopheads” who are seeking the “bite” that you will find in varying degrees in our Marbledale American Pale Ale and our Broken Imperial I.P.A.. The third group enjoys lighter beers, such as our Broken Auger Lager and Irish Red Ale. Once the brewery doors were open it was important to us to really listen to the feedback from our customers in the tasting room and to creatively develop styles that paired well with the favored foods from the local restaurants.
What’s your current favorite? What do you like to pair it with?
The current favorite would be our Marbledale American Pale Ale because it pairs so well with many foods that you would throw into the smoker or bbq. Aside from brewing, we all enjoy eating memorable meals, with an awesome Broken Bow brew of course!
{IntoxiKate Tip!} Try the Irish Red Ale. It’s an IntoxiKate favorite.
You took a break from canning to give me the tour. When and where will 6-packs of Broken Bow brews be available?
The 6 packs are now available! Larger locations include Stew Leonard’s, Half Time, DeCicco’s and Eastchester Beverage Mart. There are also available in a growing number of restaurants and neighborhood markets from just outside NYC up to the Catskills.

This May, the Greenburgh Public Library Foundation hosted their annual Books & Cooks, a “literary feast” combining some of the area’s best restaurants (and beverages!) with local authors. IntoxiKate was proud to be this year’s media sponsor, promoting the event and coordinating with the incredible food and beverage sponsors who so graciously donated to the event. (Pictured above is the tuna tartare from Village Social in Mount Kisco.)
Guests received the first ever IntoxiKate Black Card, giving them an all-access pass to discounts at places like Chutney Masala, Penny Lick Ice Cream, Hastings Tea, Broken Bow Brewery, RiverMarket Bar + Kitchen and Recologie’s Vistro Café.
IntoxiKate also created the event’s first ever interactive journal, designed to showcase the sponsors, partners and collaborators in a new and innovative way. Viewers can connect digitally with websites and social media outlets to learn more about their favorite vendors. To view the journal, please click here.
Below is a quick photo recap of the event. For more event photos, visit the IntoxiKate: Living Life Deliciously Facebook page or the Books & Cooks Event Facebook Page.
Wait a minute? Is this Burger Bash? Nooo… that’s next week. But Restaurant Sponsor RiverMarket Bar + Kitchen (Tarrytown) certainly has a contender with these mini lamb sliders. They paired this with a duo of “milk and cookies” (see below).
Guests enjoy a sweet dessert from Hudson Grille (White Plains).
Chutney Masala (Irvington) offered dahi aloo paapdi—a cold layered combination of semolina crisps, savory yogurt, spiced potato and chickpeas and tangy chutneys.
Spiked Seltzer, available in orange, grapefruit and lime, and The Seeker Wines joined Broken Bow Brewery, Bonjo Coffee and Hastings Tea as the beverage sponsors for the evening.
Recologie’s Vistro Café offered a few dishes to sample, including a few sweet treats.
Chef Eric Korn, of Good-Life Gourmet, helped raise money during the live auction, offering a special dinner for eight at his new restaurant (name coming soon) on Main Street in Irvington.
Penny Lick Ice Cream Company‘s return to nostalgic flavors wooed guests (as did her tasty ice cream root beer floats!).

During my last visit to Cellar 49, I wolfed down a cowboy steak that pretty much took up the entire table. Okay, maybe it wasn’t THAT big, but admitting to also eating a flatbread pizza, burrata salad and several other dishes would only reveal my gluttonous side.
But the dishes all had one thing in common—they were heavy dishes. Perfect comfort foods to offset the bitter cold temperatures accompanying. Now that the temps are turning in the opposite direction, I’m looking for a few more lighter dishes. (Okay, who am I kidding?!? Have to feed the #foodbaby, but I AM looking for some of those spring and summer flavors to hit the plate.) I, of course, had to visit Cellar 49 for round two, to check out their new seasonal menu.
Here’s a sneak peek (cue: play video):
Ok, enough with the temptation already! If you’re curious about what Chef Chris Hettinger is enthusiastically speaking of in the video, check out the picture below. “Oscar’s Smoked—yes, I said smoked—Pork Chop” is served with peach preserves, grits and a bit of sautéed chard ($31). It’s just one of the many highlights of the new menu.
Although it’s definitely worth it to jump to that coveted smoky flavor of the chop (a meat prepped at one of fellow foodie Rachael Ray’s favorites—Oscar’s Adirondack Smokehouse), let’s not get ahead of ourselves. One of the #IntoxiKate favorites of the evening was a simple dish to start—a house-made chicken liver spread served with flatbreads ($12).
Incredibly rich in flavor, yet creamy to spread, the appetizer is perfect for two at the bar or to start of a meal for the more adventurous eaters (I know there’s more than a few of you out there!). For those of you who turn your noses up at liver—come on, give it a try!—Cellar 49 has you covered with a few flat bread options. The oven roasted tomato with cheese curds is covered in peppery arugula ($14.)
On the other hand, you always have the breakfast-for-dinner-option with the bacon, egg, cheese and mushroom flatbread (also $14).
Keep in mind that there’s more than a few great options for a three course meal, so save room for all (especially if he’s buying!). While that smoked chop is at the top of the recommendation list, a close second would be the fried chicken served with biscuits and a cute little bottle of siriachi honey ($26).
For those of you bathing-suit conscious, go for the diver scallops with smoked bacon and lentils ($34). (You’ve been working hard at the gym, so reward yourself with the bits of that amazing bacon on the photo below.)
The Tarrytown House Estate celebrates its 50th Anniversary this year, so Cellar 49 added a few special dishes to the menu, including a Belgian Waffle sundae, first featured at the World’s Fair fifty years ago.
It’s hard to compete with the sundae goodness above, you don’t want to miss the maple glazed donuts (another #IntoxiKate fav).
{IntoxiKate Tip}
Father’s Day is quickly approaching, and Cellar 49 is the PERFECT place to take dad. Make those reservations soon!
