For those of you who have not seen our mascot for Kitchen ZINC yet, it’s a goat!
Not a real one [yet]. But we fell in love with our goat picture and decided to use him on everything. We like to imagine what he is thinking, so you’ll see that he actually shares his thoughts on our To Go menu and ads. And if you are walking down Chapel Street or through Temple Plaza, make sure you peek down the alley to Kitchen ZINC. You’ll see our brand new flags that are being installed today!
In fact, we are going to start a “Name the goat” drive soon! What do you think? Do you want to weigh in on what the goat’s name should be?

“It’s about time!” That’s what I’ve heard from some excited patrons who have heard about our dessert pies. So I thought I would share with the rest of you who haven’t heard!
What we’re starting out with:
- Vanilla Roasted Granny Smith Apples + Goat Cheese
- Red Wine Poached Figs + Mascarpone Cheese
What we’re still experimenting with:
- Chocolate + Creme Anglaise with Raw Brown Sugar
- Red Delicious Apple + Cinnamon with Vanilla Ice Cream A La Mode
- Fresh Figs with Dark Balsamic Glaze
- Plum + Rhubarb with Chai Spice
What do you think? Do you have any other suggestions? How would you make a chocolate dessert pie?

Hope we see you there!

So we had a couple of free wine tastings last month at Kitchen Zinc. They’ve been so successful that we’ve decided to continue the wine tastings every other Thursday from 5:30 to 6:30. The next one will be this Thursday, September 10th at Kitchen Zinc. On September 24th, we’ll be closed for a private event. Then we’ll have wine tastings on October 1st and October 15th.
Hope to see you there!

Todd Lyon had some very nice things to say about Kitchen Zinc in her New Haven Register article about thriving restaurants in New Haven. She writes about her experience with a few of our pies.
“Chef Denise Appel puts her commitment to locally produced foods on display with pizza options that include local cheeses and “market ingredients,” baked beautifully on a pie that’s a good meal for one and a nice share for two.”
Check it out when you get a chance.

I thought everyone might enjoy a nice summer red sangria recipe. I love making a big batch of sangria to enjoy after a summer afternoon in the garden and playing with the pups!
Let me know what you think!

I caught a great article in the New York Times about how pizza is gaining interest with some critically acclaimed chefs. We knew we were on to something!
“The flashiest restaurateurs want in on pizza; so do some of the most classically trained, critically acclaimed chefs. Stephen Starr, the owner of Buddakan and an owner of Morimoto, two of the grandest and gaudiest Asian restaurants in downtown Manhattan, has lately spent much of his time in New York eating his way through the city’s older and newer pizza parlors, on a gut-busting mission to figure out what works best and how to replicate it in Philadelphia, his base.”
Cool stuff!
