We are pleased to welcome Robert Harrison as its new Executive Chef.  Robert is an experienced Executive Chef with a lifelong passion for fine food and wine.  He has worked at exclusive restaurants and hotels such as The Russian Tea Room, The Castle at Tarrytown and the La Valencia Hotel in La Jolla, California.

“We are excited to have Robert on our team so we can bring exciting, creative and innovative menus to our customers,” says James Housteau, owner of The Short Story http://www.TheShortStoryRestaurant.com.  Housteau adds, “Robert will write the next chapter at The Short Story, and we’re sure it’ll be one to excite the palettes of our guests.”

It’s been a great media week for both The Short Story Brasserie and our sister store, The Wine Cache.  Our restaurant received national attention in The Wine Spectator August Issue, Restaurant Guide with over 2.5 million subscribers.

Not only was The Short Story Brasserie selected to receive The Wine Spectator Award of Excellence - “for lists that offer a well-chosen selection of quality producers, along with a thematic match to the menu in both price and style…”, but our restaurant and wine list made it to the main article. Of all the other award winners our program was interviewed and highlighted in the main article.

The Short Story Brasserie announces its first major seasonal change to the menu.  Executive Chef Chad Lavely says, “It’s a small menu that delivers big on its variety and flavor.  We are excited to share such a variety of flavor experiences with our guests.”   The new menu continues the restaurant’s goal of sharing the diversity of food styles experienced by Hemingway in his travels. 

Examples of new dishes that showcase this diversity are:

• Saffron Scented Mussel Soup
• Short Stack of Spicy Tuna Tartar, Nishiki Rice and Mountain Vegetable Salad
• African Berbere Spice Rubbed Filet of Beef with Scalloped Yams and Plantains
