Ridgewood Tobacco Owners Receive Coveted Davidoff’s Golden Band Award for “Industry Service”
Congratulations to our very own Gary Kolesaire for being presented with Davidoff’s Golden Band Award for “Industry Service”. This award was presented to Gary in Las Vegas at the Davidoff Golden Band Awards Dinner on July 21. Thank you Gary for all your hard work and for your constant love of our industry.
Back in the late sixties, owner Milan looked for places to eat but, was not satisfied by the undeserved and overpriced options available to him. He worked hard to create his own restaurant with hearty portions to satisfy any appetite. Our large portions have fresh ingredients at reasonable prices for everyone to enjoy. We are happy to say that we purchase fresh food locally from different farms and markets.
There is always a family member on location whether in the front of house or in the back cooking. It is a family affair. As a family run business we are proud to welcome your family to our restaurant. It is frequently said that if customers leave this restaurant hungry it is their own fault!
Fans of our restaurant can also now join our Facebook and Twitter pages to keep with the latest news and happenings about the entire restaurant family!! We appreciate your customer loyalty over the years, for our wonderful Zagat Survey Reviews which landed us in multiple categories including, “Best Breakfast” and “Best Bang for your Dining Buck.” Click around our site and don’t forget to study up on the menu.

NOW OPEN
Roots Steakhouse
15 Chestnut St., Ridgewood
201-444-1922; rootssteakhoue.com
* How it started: This Roots Steakhouse was eight years in the making. Harvest Restaurants, the parent company for nine restaurants in New Jersey, including two Roots Steakhouses — one in Summit, one in Morristown — wanted to open a Roots in Bergen County, specifically in Ridgewood. “It took us eight years to find the right location with a liquor license,” said Grant Halliday, director of operations for Harvest Restaurants. Why Ridgewood? “We like a downtown setting,” Halliday said. “The town is unique in Bergen County in that it has a vibrant downtown setting.”

This summer, we’ll be spotlighting locally produced foods and drinks that have caught the attention of North Jersey’s chefs, bartenders and other tastemakers.
Where it’s on the menu
Moveable Feast provided this list of the local restaurants, caterers and clubs that serve its smoked salmon and other fish:
Alpine Country Club
Bareli’s, Secaucus
Bottagra, Hawthorne
Chakra, Paramus
Chef’s Table, Franklin Lakes
Fiesta Banquet, Wood-Ridge
The Elan, Lodi
The Graycliff, Moonachie
Latour, Ridgewood
Le Jardin, Edgewater
The Park Steakhouse, Park Ridge
Park West Tavern, Ridgewood
Rudy’s Inflight Catering, Teterboro
Village Green, Ridgewood
Alain Quirin has always been intrigued by how fresh-from-the-sea salmon can be transformed into the thin, silky, smoky slices that are twirled into canapés and draped onto buffet trays.
When the French-born chef ran the kitchen at the Greenwich Village restaurant Raoul’s, he often could be found spending afternoons on an outdoor terrace, tending to a few fillets of salmon in a small smoker, which he piled with ice to keep it from getting too hot.
“It was kind of like a game for me,” Quirin said. “It was interesting to go from A to Z on something that normally you just open a package.”
And eventually, he and his wife, Denise, turned that game into a family business. Their Moveable Feast, whose headquarters is in a Moonachie industrial complex, cold-smokes 5,000 pounds of buttery salmon a week, and customers say its quality is unrivaled.
“It’s just so much fresher,” said Chris Waters, executive chef of The Elan catering hall in Lodi, who serves platters of smoked salmon and also uses it in an avocado salad with apples and red onion. “You can smell the smoke as soon as you open the package. It takes over the room. People turn their heads.”
At Village Green in Ridgewood, chef-owner Kevin Portscher layers the salmon over warm potato pancakes, garnished with onions, capers and dill crème fraîche. “I couldn’t make it better myself — that’s why I buy it from him,” Portscher said. “There’s no chemicals, no crazy flavors. It’s fish, salt, hickory smoke. That’s the way they’ve been doing it for hundreds of years.”
Adds another Ridgewood chef, Michael Latour, who occasionally uses the fish in specials: “Some salmon can be a little too slimy. His technique is drier.”

Residents will not need to head to their favorite vacation destination to watch a fresh batch of fudge being hand-paddled at the candy shop.
That’s because Kilwins Chocolate and Ice Cream shop, usually found in vacation spots like Florida, is now open on East Ridgewood Avenue. The July 12 soft opening was anything but soft.
“Some have a surprised look when they come into the store, like they’ve been here before,” said Mary Davis, who is co-owner and franchisee of Kilwins with her husband, Philip. “We had people congregating in the front window, especially kids who glue their faces to our storefront window to watch fudge being made.”
Kilwins, founded in Michigan in 1947, is broadening its reach to suburban ‘urban’ areas. This is the second Kilwins to open in New Jersey.
“Everyone walks out of Kilwins with a smile,” said Philip Davis. “We have fudge, chocolate and ice cream. What better experience can you have?”
