hey guys - the chef of thirty acres (and my husband), kevin pemoulie, was nominated for food & wine's "the people's best new chef" for the new york area (i know, i know). voting ends on monday at 5pm. they're not showing results anymore, but i think he might actually have a chance. please show your support for our restaurant and jersey city by voting and and asking your friends and families to vote as well. here is the link:

as always, thank you. we would be so proud to bring this home for jersey.

that reminds me, what is shmaylor ham?[/quote]

hey cory - schmaylor ham is our take on taylor ham. we had the folks over at the meat hook in brooklyn (http://the-meathook.com/) make it and we think they did a pretty awesome job (considering they're in new york city).

we're in the process of applying for the permit, so wish us luck!

JSQ - we're really sorry if we came off that way in the interview! we assure you that we did NOT mean any offense to jersey city or its residents in any way. in fact, our entire staff is from jersey city, and they're AWESOME. we love jersey city.

we haven't heard the interview, but knowing that it was done after weeks of little sleep (they say opening a restaurant is like birth), we don't find it hard to believe that we may have said some stupid things by mistake. to be fair, we did have a lot of applicants with very little experience. we believe that serving is a skilled and difficult position, and we knew what we were looking for and were willing to wait. the team we've compiled is better than we ever could have hoped for, so in our eyes the waiting has paid off.

we invite you to please come in and try our food and experience our service and let us know if your opinion still stands.

again, we definitely apologize for any remarks we might have made that offended you in any way. we only mean the best for jersey city. it's our home too and we love it here.

thanks,

kevin & alex

sorry for any confusion! in the excitement and haste of opening we realize that we didn't make ourselves totally clear: we're not actually accepting reservations for opening night. we want to make sure to have tables for everyone who's been so patient and supportive during our development!

thanks,

k&a

we hear you! as soon as we have a liquor license, recommendations are totally welcome! in the meantime, jersey wine & spirits has an awesome selection.

hey cory - we're posting a few menu "drafts" on facebook, but depending on what's available at the market that day, we probably won't have anything definite until the day before!

we will be updating menus on fb, twits, and tumblr as we change them and probably post daily changes. keep checking in to see what's going on.

hey guys - we are opening our doors to the public for dinner on friday, april 6. we'll take reservations for parties of five or more, so if you're fewer than that just come on in!

thanks for you patience throughout all this. we can't wait to have you in and hear your feedback!

as always, if you have any questions, you can email us at thirtyacresrestaurant@gmail.com, or ask us on twitter @thirtyacres or on facebook.

thanks and (hopefully) see you soon!
