Line cooks needed!

Are  you looking for a creative, exciting, and most importantly, serious job? Chef Mike has informed me that Michael Anthony's at the Inn is taking applications for line cook positions. Applicants should possess broiler, sautee, and good knife skills, but he may be willing to teach the right person as long as basic kitchen skills are present Applicant must be able to follow directions and must be able to tell time and read script and hand print. We are looking for people who have a passion for quality and innovation. Most importantly, we are looking for people who want to be part of a world class dinning experience based around local, fresh ingredients and a "farm to plate" philosophy. We are looking for legitimate workers, for people who care about the business as much as we do, people who are willing to help us take MA's to the next level, for people who are willing to go the extra mile to make our customers' experience completely unforgettable, more or less, people who "get" it.
If you can answer "yes" to these questions, stop in and see us.

Höpler wine dinner

So I just tasted through the wines that are going to be featured at the Höpler wine dinner next month with Chef Mike, Telisa, and Todd Dammeyer, and I am more excited than ever! If you don't come, you are really going to miss out, because Höpler has some really tasty wines, and Chef Mike and Telisa don't typically disappoint with the edible pairings! A few of the varietals that we tasted were completely new to me, particularly the Grüner Veltliner, which grows exclusively in Austrian soil. Also, there are only going to be two reds out of the six wines (Austrian wines are typically white). This tasting seems so appealing to me due to the fact that it is going to be so different from the past dinners. If you have been to any of our dinners in the past, you will most likely remember than the majority of the wines were reds. So not only will this be the first Austrian dinner that we have ever hosted, but it will also be the first dinner comprised of mainly white wines! Now red lovers, please don't let this turn you off (I am a red drinker too), these wines do not disappoint! Even the Pinot Blanc drinks much bigger than it's namesake.  Also, now that we have received the wine shipment and had some time to taste through them, we can begin writing a menu. So hopefully I will have a menu for everyone to look at within the next week or two. Thank you all for your patience, and I really hope that you are as excited as we are! This wine dinner will most definitely be a memorable one!

June: the month for weddings, and in our case, wine.

To our fellow winos, you sure are in for a treat next month! As you have probably noticed, it has been way to long since our last wine tasting, and as you probably know, the wait is always worth it. The good news is, the Holiday season is officially at an end, spring is in full swing, and summer is staring us right in the face (even though it hasn't felt like it this week). So what do we have for you to be looking forward to in June? Keep reading to find out!

On June 16th, we will gladly welcome Christof Höpler from Hoepler Winery to the Inn for a formal full course wine dinner. This will be Christof's first wine dinner with us, and we hope that you are as excited as we are to have him! Christof is an Austrian wine maker, and as usual, Chef Michael and his team will work to create several courses of delectable dishes to compliment Christof's wines. To learn more about Hoepler, visit their website at http://hoepler.at/en. The event begins at 7:00 on Thursday June 16, reservations are a must and a sneak peak at a menu will be available as soon as I can get my hands on one!


If you can stand to be around us two times in one week (and I know you can!) come back two days later for a tasting with our friends Scott and Jana Harvey. This tasting will be informal, and will feature several samples from the husband and wife duo along with some light appetizers (don't fill up though, we do encourage you to stay for dinner afterward!). Scott Harvey is solely responsible for the creation of the beloved Menage a Trois line from the Folie a Deux winery, as well as other popular favorites such as the "One Last Kiss" line. Jana has also made quite a name for herself with her self titled line of wines, known simply as "Jana". To hear their history for yourself, you will definitely want to be here on June 18th at 7:30. Also, check out their website at  
http://www.scottharveywines.com for some more information on Scott and Jana and their delicious drinks.

We hope to see all of our regulars and we always welcome new faces! Please reserve a spot on our guest list for one or both of the events by stopping in or calling (937) 526-3020. You really don't want to miss these events!






 

Hello!

This is the first official blog for Michael Anthony's at the Inn, and I am very excited to keep our fans updated here as well as on facebook and our official website about all of the new and exciting things that we are going to have going on over the next few months. Most importantly and as many of you probably know, we are in the process of remodeling our bar. Please bare with us during the time of construction, trust me, it is difficult for us too! I know that many of you are used to being able to sit at the bar and have an appetizer and a few drinks. Temporarily, we regret to inform you that we cannot offer you that service, but I promise, it's going to be worth it! Our newly remodeled bar will feature more seating than before, twelve, yes TWELVE beers on tap, and our most exciting new addition; a brand new wood-fired pizza oven! That's right, within the next two months, you will be able to enjoy authentic wood-fired pizza and craft and local draft beer by the fireplace in our lounge. I will be uploading a copy of our new pizza menu as soon as I can get my hands on it.

In other news, Deb Borgia, our local farmer, has informed me that the farming process is well underway! Within the next month or two, we will be featuring upwards of 50 varietals of heirloom tomatoes, (and that's just tomatoes) as well as lettuce for our salads, asparagus, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, beets, berries, and all kinds of other goodies.

Remember how much fun the Versailles Fare Fest was the past two years? Well it's going to be even better this year! Yes, we still have to wait an entire summer before it gets here, but planning is already underway, and it's going to be the best fest yet! This year, we will not only wine and dine you to your hearts content, but we will also be providing musical entertainment! I will provide a list of entertainers as soon as we have an official agenda.

I do intend to update this blog regularly, so please check back so that you don't miss out on any of the upcoming events; this year is going to be a great one! Also, please check our website, http://www.innatversailles.com and our facebook page to stay up to date on specials and weekly entertainers!
