Where Did Chef Daniel Picard Formerly With
Pino's Restaurant Go To?

by Flo Mount
(Charlotte, NC)

I'm trying to locate Chef Daniel Picard. His last known location was Pinos Restaurant in Marlboro, NJ, which was featured in one of your articles. I called Pinos and they said he left there over a year ago. My husband and I used to frequent the Waters Edge in Bayville where he was a chef many years ago (about 20)and he made a lamb medallion dish that I have looked to recreate for years. Can you help in locating him and providing either his current restaurant or email address? Your help is so greatly appreciated.

Looking For A Restaurant Halfway Between Edison And North Bergen To Meet Friends.

by anne
(North bergen nj)

Where is a restaurant to meet friends at halfway between Edison and North Bergen?
Frank's Reply:
Hi Anne;
The Elizabeth area right off the NJ Turnpike is about halfway between Edison and North Bergen. Not knowing about your age group or type of restaurants you prefer, I am making the assumption that since you are going out with friends you would want a place that serves alcohol, is reasonably priced, and is appealing to groups of friends. Here are some suggestions:

City Tavern
1109 Elizabeth Ave
Elizabeth, NJ 07201
908) 353-7113

Terminal One Sports Bar
566 Spring St.
Elizabeth, NJ 7201
908-354-3685

Ironbound Grill
Renaissance Newark Airport Hotel
1000 Spring Street
Elizabeth, NJ
1-908-436-4600

I would suggest calling ahead to confirm it's what you had in mind.

What do you think about Namaste Cafe?

(Elizabeth, NJ)

What do you think of Namaste Cafe located in New Brunswick? I have never been there but am interested in going.

Hi;

If you enjoy healthy organic, vegetarian food with a "vibish ambiance" that promotes a yogic lifestyle, with a social environment and club-like atmosphere free of cigarettes and alcohol, then you should enjoy this place. See a more detailed review.

Please let us know about your experience at Namaste Cafe and Juice Bar!
