So, a quick blog post is better than no blog post at all (at least according to me). \u00a0 After being a sushi restaurant with financing by Wells Fargo, SHUKU the Highway Diner has reopened. \u00a0 In the first restaurant opening of the season, they did it quietly but carried a big culinary stick! \u00a0 \u00a0 While I don’t have many of the details on the chefs and owners etc., I can tell you the staff seemed to be experienced and ready to take on the task of breaking the curse of the tank! \u00a0 \u00a0 So what did we have? \u00a0A chicken pot pie which is quite possibly the best one I ever tasted!!!!\u00a0\u00a0 My of my dinner companions had freshly made pasta where\u00a0they said they\u00a0can “actually taste the difference.”\u00a0 I started with a Caesar salad that could have been a meal itself. \u00a0 \u00a0Also gone is the sterile cold interior that had diners sitting on edge as every new customer walked in the door. \u00a0Now, the old diner’s food wasn’t bad but I think the management and staff were in over their heads. \u00a0My favorite or least favorite experince I should say was when they ran out of bagels for breakfast at $10 a pop. \u00a0HELLO, THERE IS A BAGEL STORE TWO DOORS DOWN! \u00a0 \u00a0Anyway, for a first night the Highway Diner was a hit with me and everyone else at the table! \u00a0 I think it has what it takes… good food … good service….a full bar and good prices!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

It’s about time to have some good restaurants in the Hamptons. \u00a0Meanwhile, Nichol’s is really shuttered for renovations and who knows if it will ever return. \u00a0Meanwhile, I’m doing a death watch on about 3 different restaurants on the east end. \u00a0More on that coming soon, I promise!<\/p>\n
