In preparation for CHOW West Hartford, I am proud to announce a few updates in our ZINC kitchen. Jeff Sansone [who has been with us since we opened our doors in New Haven] has been promoted from our Sous Chef to Chef de Cuisine. And Keith Ruttan [who has been with us for almost 2 [...]
Mmmmm…menu changes!

Welcome spring! ONE OF MY FAVORITE TIMES OF THE YEAR. This is the time of the year when so much varieties of produce explodes. Old reliable that are native to the area like rhubarb, ramps, fiddleheads and shad and shad roe are among some of my favorites. When I was much younger and worked on [...]
It’s that time of the year again!

I love spring and summer. From the trees growing to the flowers blooming…and best of all…the fresh vegetables growing! I know I’ve mentioned before how I grew up in Gram’s garden. But this seeing my garden start to grow just always makes me smile. My garden isn’t the only one starting to produce either. CitySeed [...]
Fiddle me this…
Posted in sustainable food on May 10th, 2008
Hi Everyone…a post here for Mike H. again: A rite of passage occurred for me this weekend. Harry, my oldest brother took me fiddlehead picking. I cannot tell you where, partly because I’m still not clear where we were, but mostly because the location of this forest of fiddleheads must remain a secret. Ten years [...]
Hello everyone – Jeff here – this is my first post

Hi everyone, I’m Jeff Sansone, Sous Chef at ZINC Restaurant. I’ve recently had an epiphany-I care about meat. I’ve been reading a lot of literature lately concerning “humanely” raised and slaughtered animals. I know Denise has been very conscientious about what we serve at ZINC and CHOW, seeking out sources for line-caught fish and hormone-free [...]

We will be opening our 3rd restaurant in Fall [...]
Confessions from a farmgirl…

Once again, we were asked to participate in the 7th Annual Celebration of Connecticut Farms, sponsored by the Connecticut Farmland Trust. This year it was held on September 9, 2007 at Belltown Hill Orchards in South Glastonbury, a gorgeous farm. If only I had a video of Jeff-our Sous Chef-and me at 2 am! We [...]
Mmmm…Market Menu
Posted in farmers market, sustainable food, ZINC New Haven on September 17th, 2007
I am happy [and a little proud] to say that the Market Menu has been doing really well. From the first week, we have more than doubled the orders from last year. It’s always interesting to take an idea for dishes and/or menus that I would love to encounter when I go out and see [...]
