LOOK WEIRD AND TASTE GREAT (like Joan Cusack)

Oyster Shooters from Alfa*

Chef Sean Ford has been playing around in his underground lair, concocting fun stuff for summertime.  Result- 3 different flavors of Frozen Vodka Oyster Shooters.  Inspired by the outrageous Bloody Mary recipes that we dreamed up for our now defunct brunch (sad...), the oyster shooters come in Classic Spicy Tomato, Tomatillo/Lime Verde, and the Carrot/Jalepeno.  Chef first freezes the Svedka Vodka in the bottom of the glass, when we drop in the Original Blue Point Oyster the Vodka comes to life.  As always, our Oysters are raised in sustainable farms, and I guess that means our children will get to do Oyster Shooters in the year 2030, during the Timberlake Administration.  

Look for them on the menu on Wednesday May 26th

The Alfa Blog

The brain trust at Alfa Restaurant and Bar have decided to try out another of the world wide web's conduits for the decimation of vital information, the blog.   We're not entirely sure what we will be doing with it, but we figure it could be fun.  I think we will post some specials, event updates, pictures of ourselves, our food, and maybe some folks having fun at the bar.  It is also very likely that there will be a generous helping of our ruminations on life, food, revelry and all things gastro-metaphysical.   

Cheers
