We didn’t know much about the new restaurant going in at 833 Union Street, formerly Black Pearl, other than the fact that they applied for a liquor license a couple of months ago under the name Late Harvest. Now, according to the Buy in Brooklyn site, the restaurant is to be called Bussaco, and it offers “house-made soft pretzels.” Sounds good, to start. Did anybody stop by there last night? What else was on the menu?
Haven’t tried it yet, but I fondly remember Lento’s pizzas several owners ago. I hope the service is faster than Lento’s (obvious musical pun).
I’m hankering for the corn dogs made with Kobe beef.
“You’ll find the Malbec really brings out the earthy taste of our soft pretzels, while the Chardonnay accentuates the zing of the cheese-whiz and truffle dipping sauce.”
The NYT reported a few weeks ago: BUSSACO Scott Carney, a master sommelier who has managed Gotham Bar & Grill, the Tonic and many other places, is opening this new wine bar, with a first growth not just in the bottle, but also in the oak of a communal table made from a tree that came down in Prospect Park. The American food will be by the chef Matthew Schaefer: 833 Union Street, (Seventh Avenue), Park Slope, Brooklyn, (718) 857-8828. Sept. 26.
Bussaco is in Portugal. I didn’t know that pretzels were Portugese fare. Kale soup yes.
House made soft pretzels.
I’m speechless.
Mmm … pretzels. I live right up the street from this place. Will have to check it out.
What’s wrong with pretzels?
The house wine. What an innovative amuse bouche.
